Ask the Geeky Girls -
Erin (ErinIreland)Erin (ErinIreland) from Illinois asks:
Hi, I love watching your podcast while knitting, sewing, or drinking coffee! On your last podcast you said you were running out of questions to answer so here are a couple questions. You may have answered them before , but I’ll ask anyway. How did you and the Hubs meet and how did he get the nickname ‘The Hubs”? It was nice to see your wedding pictures.
