I took my macaron class last September, so I’m coming up on my first summer making them in Virginia, a commonwealth not know for its deserts. How do people deal with the humidity in the summer? I can’t bear the thought of not making them (as I faint dramatically into my chaise).

I usually run the overhead fan to assist in drying the surface, and wonder if anyone has set up a room-size dehumidifier (assuming these are a thing) for a day or so before making them in the humidity. I made them once during a super rainy period just to see how it would go and it was not pretty. Thanks for your ideas ;)

Sorry if this a duplicate. I can’t figure out if I successfully posted just now (and will delete if I have.)

I am in charge of the knitting group in the senior community where I live. When knitters pass away their families often donate their stashes and supplies. As you might guess, we have a pretty constant turnover lol.

I can usually find a home for the yarns, but I am absolutely swimming in knitting needles. I’m stumped as to what to do with them. I’ll donate them to Goodwill but before I do, does anyone have any ideas? I’d love some ideas for crafts? I guess? or projects? that would let me reuse/rethink/upcycle them. If the picture doesn’t load my needles fill a pasta pot and a she box. And that’s not all of them!
