Do you have a sweater chest? A dressmaker's mannequin for your shawls, or a special hanger? A box of socks? I tend to roll my handknit socks and put them in a drawer.

For some reason when you talked about the rolling ladder at the bookstore it made me think of you getting to use that in your tiny home (also tiny homes do have the option for a downstairs bedroom). Also what would the outdoor space surrounding your homes and businesses look like in this scenario? Would you consider having space for additional tiny homes (van living, etc for your business workers, or just cool people who need a place to dock?) ?Misc. - ~Support the Podcast, Become A Patron~Want another way to help support our podcast?

Thanks for understanding!*There is a Chatter Thread on Ravelry so we can encourage each other along the way.Ask the Geeky Girls - Jorunn (FjordLord) from Norway asks:Hi Geeky Girls! I was wondering if you have any thoughts on different knitting styles and how you wrap the yarn around when you knit. The way I learnt to knit as a child, is what I understand is called continental style knitting. This is where you hold the yarn with your left hand, over your left index finger, and use your right needle to “hook” the yarn and then pull it through. The only time I knit while wrapping yarn around using my right hand is when I do colour work. On the occasions where we can see you actually knitting on your podcast, it seems that you might be knitting the wrap-around-style, and that has always seemed to me to be a (sorry) slower way of doing it. Have you tried other styles of knitting, or have you any other thoughts on this? What do you think are the pros and cons of knitting this way or the other?Originally asked/answered in 2015Misc. - ~Threads Entwined - 15% off until the end of May, 2020, with the coupon code geeky15~Support the Podcast, Become A Patron~Want another way to help support our podcast?
