This has to do with kitchen towels and how they're hung in drawer handles.
Definitions:
over- a corner of the towel is inserted behind the handle from above; the bulk of the towel is outward.
Under - the corner of the towel is inserted from below, behind the handle, then snugged upward, and only that part is on the outside.
So, which way do you do it, and why.
For those who have knobs instead of handles, what do you do with damp dishtowels? I don't believe I've ever been in a house where knobs were used in the kitchen.

Over - so that they hang away from the drawer.
As for the second part of your question knobs are to open drawers and cupboards. If the towel has a loop that can fit over a knob that is useful. I have also hung towels from the front of the drawer/top of a cupboard with just an edge inside; over the back of a kitchen chair or from a hook.

I use two knobs and hang one damp dishtowel over them. When the towels are dry, they hang from one knob.

Dishtowels on drawer handles are just in the way. I have hooks for them or drape them over the breadbox.

>1 WholeHouseLibrary: I'm not sure I get the picture for how the under method works here. What about straight down the middle (which is how I hang my dish towels)? I drape them so that half falls on one side, half on the other.
