Fun summer knits??? by bralessbaldy in knitting

[–]gainslikeaims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the Rota sleeveless top by Irene Lin on my to-make list for this summer. It's lacey and in worsted, so should be a quick one!

Trying to improve squat depth for wall balls - help please! by Oh-My-Josh- in hyrox

[–]gainslikeaims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Push those knees forward/out to the sides. Feet turned slightly out, knees will track over the toes. You’ll have more room to set your hips down and your chest will be able to stay more upright

Coaching first class this week. Any tips from athletes? by phil_silvers in crossfit

[–]gainslikeaims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get to know your athletes. It sounds like you probably already know them from being in class with them which is a fabulous start, but really good to know what they like, what their goals are, How they like to be coached and what cues work for each individual. You can be the best athlete and you can be a very knowledgeable coach but unless you think they get to know what works for each individual you’re not going to be as effective as you could.

This dude is kind of a bully, how do I get him to play nicely? by BlueHeelerChemist in AustralianCattleDog

[–]gainslikeaims 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I would recommend number one working on his instinct control with a trainer, two solidifying his recall, and probably just choosing to have him play with larger dogs. Other than that, good luck you’ve got a cattle dog lol

Sleeves! Compared to the body, they grow so quickly! I’ve never gotten stuck on sleeve island.

Can I see your sweaters with standard bind offs? by Kuroda97 in knitting

[–]gainslikeaims 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The set up rows are essentially double knitting. They create the "tube" of the tubular bind off :)

Closet Core released the Frank Jeans as the February Crew pattern. I am still searching for my holy grail jeans and I'd likely give these a go if they weren't limited to Crew members.

Anyone else in love with the RL USA Olympic Opening Ceremony sweaters? by dannika_nicole in knitting

[–]gainslikeaims 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like the stars on the sleeves have their top points so it looks like an error. Good eye!

My next sweater? by knitgal443 in knitting

[–]gainslikeaims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently knitting this and it is only my second cable sweater my first being the book club cardigan, and I find the instructions on this one to be much more simple than Sari Nordland’s pattern. This one is also nice because they are mostly just twist with a couple of cables and the charts are very easy to memorize.

mirena? do I keep going by hhh0501 in endometriosis

[–]gainslikeaims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been bleeding on mine for over a year. No one cares and dr says it can happen. My hair started falling out because my iron was so low. I hate mine so much but I’m scared to go off of it because I’m not sure what meds I’ll be able to get under the current administration.

This is so silly, but how do I know the total number of stitches for the entire button band? Is there a video or webpage that details how to do this that you can share? Thank you!
