Ask the Geeky Girls -
Carolyn (KnittinNana68) from Arizona asks:
Ok I have another question. It’s not knit related (well, I guess you could knit along to the topic). But it’s for Dami. Do y’all have Roku? I just added some new channels on mine, and got a classic tv channel and as I scrolled through it, I thought “Oh! Dami would love this one!” and it’s got all kinds of musicals and stuff… That’s just on that one channel… But there’s so many other channels with shows I know you guys would love, and wonder if y’all ever watch anything from Roku, or even Xbox, I’m not sure how many devices there are now. Sorry, go back to knitting… ;)
