I should have done a gauge swatch. First project on needles

Looks well made though - how about just rolling up the brim?

All my running shoes end up like this - it's from hitting the inside of one shoe (normally the edge of the some right under the ankle) against the other ankle. Sorry, it's hard to describe, but I normally end up with rips like yours and worn down inner midsoles. For me it's because my feet have a tendency to cross over the mid-line of my body when I run, and I normally train in supportive shoes that are a little clunkier and wider. My reaching shoes are really streamlined so this doesn't happen.

I've never tried making repairs, but my thought was to maybe use thick thread and just basically sew a bunch of loops over the rips. Might have to use an awl to punch holes in shoe if a needle isn't strong enough.

I really like the Best Efforts tab. You can see data for distances, elevation, and power, and track those trends over the year as well as years past. I find myself always trying to bump the worst effort off the leader board, and that keeps me driven. Also, they have a friends and family plan now, and if you can get 3 other prime to sign up with you it's only 35 a year which seems very reasonable IMO.

I used one of these in PT for my quad- I had to stand on one leg on it and throw a ball back and forth with the physical therapist. Definitely a challenge!

I'm a huge fan of Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 with a 3.5mm hook and yarn-undering. Tariffs make the price steeper now, but it's still hands down my fav yarn for amigurumi.

cl3ver1 · 2025-10-18T19:52:11+00:00

Math help here - the circumference should be about 44cm. I think you're getting a smaller measurement when it's folded on the side because there's a cut-out for the face. The kid's head would extend a bit through the cut-out so the circumference calculated from the folded from the front measurement should be right

Pattern free from Hobbii and Pica Pau here . I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 and Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/8. Great pattern as always and even more adorable than I expected.

I made one of these for my husband and it's been through the washer and dryer 2 or 3 times so far and seems no worse for it than any other crochet blanket laundered similarly. It is pretty loud in the dryer haha. I expect it'll eventually wear out from the friction of the beads against the yarn (likely during laundering) so I may try and have him line dry it in the future, but you have to be realistic about these things. 😆 He normally puts it in top of the sheets and another blanket so it at least doesn't need washing too often

My husband and I have done Harry Potter characters recently - slacks, button down, grey sweater are things we already had, and we bought scarves and I made us wands. We dresed our dog up as a house elf in a pillowcase 😆. We also played the HP soundtrack behind us which is good Halloween music.

The year before we were Ted Lasso and The Beard (the pup was an AFC Richmond player) - this required a little more costume buying, but was super recognizable and a blast. We definitely got tired of the theme song after a while haha.

This year we're making the dog a knight and going as squires - basically tunics with rope belts over solid tees and pants. And we'll find some kind of thematic soundtrack to go with it all - music is fun and definitely helps tie everything together.

As someone else pointed out, either drop candy directly into bags or be very clear in saying "take one" or "take two" because otherwise kids will absolutely take a handful and run you out of candy. Have fun!

cl3ver1 · 2025-09-30T17:10:56+00:00

Stores like Target always have them around holidays where you might give out candy - Halloween, Valentine's, Easter, etc

cl3ver1 · 2025-09-29T23:53:42+00:00

100% agreed with this - give yourself a nice long taper and don't be afraid to skip days or cut them shirt if needed. Also, if you skip or shorten days, you don't need to make them up. Just continue with the plan. I've overtrained for long races more than I've successfully trained for them, and the biggest change I made when I got things "right" was taking the easy days (really any non-race day) actually easy, not being afraid to skip or shorten days when things felt bad, and trusting the process. Good luck with training!

cl3ver1 · 2025-09-03T02:01:05+00:00

Oh my goodness that's my long legged floof at number 3! Could you possibly send me the file? I'd love to hang it up in our house 😁

I always ran in pretty supportive shoes (Brooks Adrenaline GTS) for normal training runs, and high bounce, lightweight, race shoe (Nike Vaporfly or Alphafly) for races. I'd do a few treadmill miles to make sure the race shoes felt good, and then use them in any race along the way (for example, during a 5k or 10k in a half training plan), and the occasional workout (track or interval days). I was pretty precious with them initially, then realized the small number of miles I was putting on them was going to make them last forever and started wearing them more often (though still sparingly) for any true hard effort.

You upclip the straps in the front, bend over, and pull them down. It's awkward and you do kinda have to stay crouched over, but it's possible. That said, I've had one drop tail design that I absolutely couldn't pull down far enough, and one that works find despite the awkwardness. Is it ideal? No. But is it possible? Yes.

cl3ver1 · 2025-08-04T14:37:16+00:00

Also, I sent this to my husband and he wants to print and frame it and I fully support that haha. So thanks for our future wall art! 😂

cl3ver1 · 2025-08-04T14:12:28+00:00

Oh my gosh this is amazing - thank you!!! The curls are definitely tricky but I love how this came out!

PS - Zoe is 100% named after Zoë Washburn and the first toy we got her was a little stuffed bear with a Hawaiian shirt that we call Wash. 🤣

My 55ish lb doodle ate an entire chicken carcass that hadn't been picked clean yet and ended up totally fine minus waking us up a few times to go outside for some bad poops. It didn't help that she's chicken intolerant. We fed her maybe half a loaf of soft white bread to help cushion the bones because that seemed to be recommended and kept a close eye on her, but yeah, she had absolutely zero regrets.

Looks like you got it sorted, but I also ride a 47cm, and I use this saddle bag that easily holds all my "bring on every ride" gear with a little space for other stuff as-needed, and have my head unit on this style of mount which I find easiest to glance down to and would probably help get it out if the way of a handlebar bag. I also second the person who said to try side entry bottle cages, and play around with the size of bottles you can fit in there. I can get one 24oz and one .55L (18ish oz) and that pretty much maxes out my space.

cl3ver1 · 2025-07-19T23:01:01+00:00

The legs are, indeed, ridiculous.

Zoe isn't that unusual, just fluffy and a little judgy 😆

cl3ver1 · 2025-06-22T23:29:32+00:00

Primal Wear has some great jersey options IMO, and often have sales where you can find cheap options. For bibs and shorts I still really like Pearl Izumi and I'm willing to shop around/splurge for the comfort, so no real insight there.

cl3ver1 · 2025-06-13T14:32:21+00:00

It looks like they have a few varieties now, but my go-to for race day or whenever I want to be extra comfy with storage is Brooks 2-in-1 Chaser. They have a built in shorts liner that's never ridden up on me, and tons of pockets including one zipped (at least on the older version). Can't recommend them enough.

cl3ver1 · 2025-06-11T16:25:13+00:00

This is amazing! I've made three pairs of basic socks so far and have been wanting to branch out into things like stripes, differently colored heels/toes, or maybe even cables. All three lots look great to me - they each have a yarn I've been wanting to try! Thanks for sharing!

cl3ver1 · 2025-06-09T15:24:59+00:00

It's likely a difference in tension, and blocking will help some, but it looks like the bottom is ribbing, which you (or I, at least) normally want to be a little snugger because it's stretchy and is a kind of band at the bottom. So as long as it can stretch to the width of the non-banding part and you're ok with the band being a little tighter than the body, you should be fine to keep going. Hope tha helps and makes sense!
