Ask the Geeky Girls -
Maryann (knitcentral) from Massachusetts asks:
Hi C.C.! You mentioned in your latest episode you made a smaller preemie hat than usual because you didn’t have enough yarn otherwise. I was wondering, in general, how you decide which size hat to make. Great job making one every week!

WE NEED MORE QUESTIONS!
