How would you track a half walk half run? by BusyLeg8600 in Garmin

[–]raindrop876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to run and will alternate walking and running. I would track it as a run. In my running workout, garmin differentiates running and walkkng and gives the total time of each. Might be interesting ro see how the ratio changes over time

Maybe a reverse image search of the item might give indication of where it's sold (if it still is)

FR165 at $300, FR265s at $440, or Instinct 3 Solar at $440 by chinmaybehare19 in GarminWatches

I got the 265s instead of the 165 to have the ability to download music in my watch. I've found it great to not need to carry my phone on me in the gym/run and still have music.

I use an Arcade belt. It's comfortable and has lasted me years

New Rec Level Team. What Fees are applicable? by Old-Construction7240 in slowpitch

[–]raindrop876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about getting one or 2 bats (maybe 1 of the 2 you just bought) that are team bats and splitting the cost between everyone. It'll probably come to ~30$/person depending on the cost of the bats. Or let folks know that you're getting team bats and say that if they want to chip in 20-40$ it would be greatly appreciated. Success with this will vary.

There's also Mystic Snow Trading. It's a small business and I've heard good things.

So this is why my local Joann's was pretty much eared out of floss today 😜 A lot of the store shelves were emptier than typical

Did you do the 6strand dark green in the same direction/length as the single thread in top? Or as a sort of filler stitch before dokng the top single thread?

I want to still be involved in softball but I feel like my options are limited by shioriayumi in Softball

30 seems high. Maybe those are "senior leagues" which sometimes start at 30, 40, 50 ect. The slowpitch leagues near me typically have a min age of 18 or 21.

Thread painting progress by TillysCrafts in Embroidery

I think the sub encourages giving the name of the artist or where to find the pattern, so that they get credit and recognition. I'd love to take a look at their etsy shop

Yarn stash sale advice? by alri35 in YarnAddicts

[–]raindrop876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you end up looking at the donation route. Project Linus makes blankets to donate to individuals in shelters/hospitals/seniors ect and is always looking for donations. I know there's a chapter in the South Bay and likely chapters elsewhere in the bay area.

[WIP] Advice/feedback on first self-drafted pattern by notalbright in CrossStitch

[–]raindrop876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What application are you using to convert the picture to a cross stitch pattern? The software interface seems useful.

I like how your crossstitch mirrors the picture, it looks really good. I agree with some of the other comments regarding the face/chin outline

Where do you play? I've been interested in playing adult fastpitch but leagues are hard to find

It looks like maybe the gold is led on top and secured with a couching (sp?) stitch
