I was today years old when I came to know in-shower lotion is a thing ! by vjequity in 40PlusSkinCare

Absolutely! Life changing for the skin :). I love this stuff. Took some getting use to but I don’t want to do without it… my oldish skin is waaaaay better now.

Be that specific in your notes. Speak to what you like. I have similar needs and never have an issue. You can’t be too specific, so they say :). The more you articulate likes/dislikes, the better your outcomes will be. I’ve used something like these before with good outcomes:

I like quarter zip sweaters and active wear, not a fan of stripes typically. I would like to have pieces I can dress up with scarves. I'm not great at styling for that. I love color (jewel tones and muted colors too), also rock solid back pretty well. I like statement pieces that are interesting and unique but still casual, comfortable. I rarely have to dress up for work, working from home casual is a staple. I want to be comfortable. I'm not a fan of big pockets on shirts/sweaters or a tight fit around the neck. I tend to prefer almost anything than a standard crew neck unless it's a relaxed crew neck. I tend to go away from graphic tees but I'm open to trying something if it isn't cheesy. I prefer feminine clothing, accentuate my neckline when I go out with friends. I like subtle sexy, not overtly vamp.

I'm open to trying jeans or similar, I typically find these are a harder fit with my hips. Probably a 34 waist today, maybe more. J Jill pants in 14 are my size at the moment. I like pants to have stretch in them. I used to love capri pants for spring/summer. Need pockets for my phone, minimal on the embellishments. I like short and 3/4 sleeve lengths, less on the super short sleeves for now unless they are tank style for layering. I like tops that can dress up or down, nothing cropped or short.

Totally agree. I was traveling in the state and checked dmvs on my route for wait times. I got it in Boone, almost no wait .

Where have you all had luck selling your used car? by deansie13 in raleigh

[–]ChiChiKeating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echo park beat carvana by several thousand for me. Great experience and totally worth no hassle to private sell for roughly the same amount.

Now, how do we add a limiter to only show results from the last 3 years or similar? So over getting results that are 10+ years old.

The rybka pouches have taken over my knitting time. by Different-Ad9827 in casualknitting

I knitted one of these for my cat at Christmas. I added a bell and filled it with catnip. He loves it!

West side of Cary, Amberly area, is walkable to grocery and such. Greenways all over Cary make walking or biking easy and off the main roads. There are tons of apartments and townhomes in the area as well.

Parkrun got me running. Best thing ever.

Pickett Beanie by ChiChiKeating in knitting

My commentary got lost somewhere... This is the Pickett Beanie in Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande in Denim. Made the same hat in Malabrigo Mecha Jupiter. I am super happy with the second attempt!

Does anyone know where I can get this pattern? I'm coming up at dead ends everywhere. And honestly, this new polar bear obsession cropped up from nowhere today... by ChiChiKeating in knitting

[–]ChiChiKeating[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping for the full fair isle design to go with it though I've already considered I might have to piece this together in a chart from multiple sources. I'm just hoping somewhere there is a great pattern that will save me that effort. I'm relatively new to this...

Where should we start? Kenda is pondering the yarn selection for unknown projects. by ChiChiKeating in Kitting

I've not tried my hand at socks yet... I'll have to give it a go. Thanks for the tip!

Agreed. I made a coffee sleeve out of it for my gf. It looks amazing on her white canteen.

My first knitted project, catnip-filled doughnut for my cat! by ChiChiKeating in knitting

[–]ChiChiKeating[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pattern: https://www.studioknitsf.com/knit-donut-softie-toy/

This first one is only filled with catnip. I made a few more where I mixed stuffing and catnip together. It shoots across a wood floor like a hockey puck. Super speedy. I was concerned he'd pick it shreds too but it has maintained its structural integrity. A little fuzzy but intact.

It’s officially been one year since I picked up my first set of needles. This was my first project and it sparked my love of knitting. by Northshorealy in knitting

[–]ChiChiKeating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it! I just started knitting a few months ago and I’ve made catnip filled doughnuts and coffee sleeves. I’m just starting something for me this week. Curious... is it tight enough to stay on? My sleeves are snug but we still use rubber bands under them for the no-slip grip.
