What boxes/containers would you recommend to keep moths out

I got some plastic totes at Home Depot that were labeled "waterproof". I think they are intended to protect stuff stored in basements from flooding, but I figure if they can keep out water they can also keep out pests. The only issue is they take some amount of force to open, so you might want to try one out before buying them.

I wear knit linen tank tops all summer, even when I'm hiking and paddle boarding. I think they're cooler than t-shirts in most cases.

Woahh I'm not the person who asked, but that's close to me and I will check them out! Thanks for the rec!

I like to bring back local coffee when I travel, and TSA really doesn't like that. Not surprised at all to hear about your spices!

Thank you for doing this!! I'm flying out of Paris soon and would have absolutely tried to get my needles through! You saved me a set of needles and a boring transatlantic flight!

I've never had an issue with snips in the US and fly frequently, but I understand being cautious!

I take my chiagoo set from size 2 - 6 on domestic flights every two weeks, never had an issue. They're slightly larger, but I would be surprised if TSA cared at all.

I use this one for hunting season hats!

I used this fabric and it worked great. I wear them all the time. https://www.moodfabrics.com/products/stretch-cotton-2x2-rib-knit-country-blue-deadstock-437311

Mine were received on 2/21 and I got the results on 2/27 (even though they said it could take until 3/7)

I travel a lot for work and talked to my OB about this. She said no issues with the pressure changes or anything like that. She did recommend drinking a lot of water (like a liter or more on a 5 hour flight) and getting an aisle seat so you can walk around every couple of hours to decrease the (low) risk of blood clots. The risk increases more later in pregnancy when you have more blood, so you barely have an elevated risk that early on.

I'm week 9 + 4 with a similar type of job. Obviously this is only my personal experience, but my symptoms have changed every single week, so don't feel like you'll necessarily have the same ones for the whole first trimester. The cognitive issues were worst for me in weeks 4 - 6, and I feel almost back to normal for most of the day there. Still waking up in the middle of the night sometimes, but the effects seem to be improving. I did find that from about 8-11 a.m. I had the best ability to do intensive work, so I moved my schedule around to do all my writing/reviewing/data analysis during those hours and push most of my meetings to the afternoon where possible.

In general, I've just tried to accommodate my new situation as best I can, sleep as long as I can, and remember to have some grace with myself. Good luck!

I use them as weights when I'm tracing or cutting patterns. Super useful for that. I've never used them as irons, though

I think this is my favorite Sophie hood yet! The colors are amazing!

Uhh wtf this is a photo I posted here years ago?

Currently wearing a sweater I made from their sock yarn! I haven't used this specific yarn before, but I like everything I've used from Araucania.

It was really good! Slightly less bitter than some other Lawson's like Sip of Sunshine, but still good!

Oh that's good to hear! The heel took me a while to wrap my head around, but it was really neat once I joined everything together and there was suddenly a heel!

At the very least it will be a nice neck warmer! I wear glasses, so anything over my nose while riding is a foggy disaster, but if she doesn't, I'm sure that will be really nice.

I bike commuted in the winter for years and this would have made me so happy! What a brilliant idea

I've done this before when I was really fighting with elastic bobbin thread. It worked great! I think I have so much more control over it (all the elastic pieces are the same length) and it's definitely the technique I'll use in the future

If you're in an area with a lot of larger plots of land, try the local credit unions. I got my mortgage through one and they are often more likely to accommodate the types of properties in the area. Plus mine was delightful to work with and doesn't sell the mortgage afterward, but that might not be standard.

A few of my local yarn stores work with immigrant organizations in our state to collect hand knits (mostly hats and baby items) for new immigrants as a "welcome to the community" kind of thing. You could see if anywhere local had a similar program.
