1:10:26 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: well ask in a second Alicia and mary!

1:15:33 Jennifer Goold she/her: I just wrapped one and need the pulling through step at the end described again:)

1:16:39 Nahe Martin: you will be sharing this video right? I have been enjoying watching (though starting one now)

1:16:52 Jennifer Goold she/her: Do I cut the wrapping string to get it through the jerk string?

1:18:46 Morgan She/Her DC: Allison, thank you! <3

1:19:12 Alicia (she/her) Richmond VA: you are rocking it out, as always Morgan! Production Manager of the Year!

1:21:43 Kristin she/her Oakland: natty dyes?

1:21:54 Anna (she/her) Seattle: I wonder if food coloring would do it!

1:22:10 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: That's a good suggestion Anna!

1:22:16 Morgan She/Her DC: Kristin, natty as in natural?

1:22:28 Kristin she/her Oakland: yep:) l

1:22:56 Morgan She/Her DC: Yes! Caddy uses natural dyes

1:25:14 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: We'll add it to the list Cindy!

1:26:25 Anna (she/her) Seattle: The jerk string is like making a “needle” out of cord. Threading that needle with the tail, and pulling it through :)

1:26:33 Gina, she, san francisco: hen you get to the en, can you please pause and show how you create the loop and pull it through, extra slowly?

1:26:38 Nahe Martin: just did one, definitely did not hold end of string as firm as I should have because I was concentrating so much on the jerk string

1:26:51 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: we'll ask her to Gina!

1:27:35 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: Great description Anna!

1:28:50 Carolyn Bahar, she/her, Durham, NC: for this broom, are you flattening it like the turkey wing? or is it more circular like the first one?

1:29:15 Margo Greb: Have you experimented with materials that are not Broom Corn? Maybe you talked about that and I missed it

1:30:04 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: great question Margo!

1:30:15 Nahe Martin: totally agreed

1:31:52 N. Shalon Edwards: as the resourceful person I am...it is totally plausible to take apart a regular broom and repurpose the materials into a Appalachian one right?

1:32:10 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: Yes Shalon!

1:32:20 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: I do that myself all the time :)

1:32:36 Nina Moses: The online classes do make everything more accessible!

1:32:57 Julie She/Her Brinklow MD: I am SO Appreciative of this class experience. What a way to spend an evening!

1:34:21 N. Shalon Edwards: wait a second! your hand covered the v patterning made by this broom...that was achieved by adding the corn to varying sides of the spine?

1:34:25 Jeannie and Leslie (both she/her) Asheville: How do you keep the broom corn flat when you are stepping up? It wants to go round…

1:34:32 Deirdre she/her MD: Why do we make 12 bundles when we are adding two bundles at a time?

1:34:36 Harry (She/Her) Providence RI: will you be showing how to attach the brushy broom part to a stick in this class or a later class?

1:34:58 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: We got your questions, Jeannie and leslie, Deirdre, and harry!

1:35:43 Gina, she, san francisco: it looks like a spring clamp might be handy

1:36:18 Lin Elkins (she/her) Boone, NC: we'll ask larry!

1:43:50 Laura, she/her, Denver CO: My knot placement on my turkey wing is quite awkward. Is there anything I can do after the fact?
