Ask the Geeky Girls -
Jenni (JenniFerReals) from Missouri asks:
What are the plans for your podcast when Dami goes to school? I’m curious if you’re going to change your day or if we’re only going to get to see Dami during school breaks or what?
AND!!!!
Shirley (Shirleyknits123) from Virginia asks:
Will you continue to Podcast when Dami goes to college? Or will you perhaps Podcast by yourself, or maybe trial podcast like The Periscoping Sisters or just wait and see? Thanks for the countless hours of keeping me company while I knit and crochet.
