Ask the Geeks -
Originally asked/answered in 2017:
Jenn asks:
I really enjoy the updates on what you are reading and watching. How do you typically read? books, ebook or listen to audio? I have been trying to listen to audiobooks while I knit….two birds one stone thing, but I tend to get distracted compared to when I’m reading an actual book. Do either of you have a “schedule” , reading time each day, knitting time ??? Thank you for letting me obsess over your reading / knitting time.
