RainyDayArt: November 2013
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 29, 2013. A reversible hooded fleece poncho. Then I found this reversible hooded poncho. Which is super adorable! The only problem was that I didn't have enough fabric to make that big, 23 inch radius, circle. So I made 2, 19 by 30 inch rectangles in each fabric. I folded my fleece long ways, not the usual way, and that gave me enough space to cut out the hood pieces. I followed the hood directions as is, including making sure my bird pattern was upright on the hood. This is the whole bo...

RainyDayArt: Short Rows Videos
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2014/08/short-rows-videos.html
Sunday, August 24, 2014. Sometimes watching something in action makes it so much easier to understand than trying to figure it out from still pictures, or better yet, trying it out while watching the video. This video demonstrates how to do the gusset, and wrap and turn. This one shows how to pick up the wraps. There are a few different ways to do these, so I'm showing what has worked for me.

RainyDayArt: January 2014
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. Finished Object: A Sweater. As I was finishing this sweater, my kiddo kept saying "I like your sweater Mom". She was so happy when I gave it to her! Thursday, January 30, 2014. This sweater project is the first time I have done steeks. Steeks are scary. Who would want to cut their knitting! There are some lovely patterns that use steeks though, so I think they are worth it to overcome that fear. Plus you can check that box on your knitting accomplishments list! Use a sewing mach...

RainyDayArt: Toe Up Socks with Gusset and Heel Flaps
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2012/03/toe-up-socks-with-gusset-and-heel-flaps.html
Thursday, March 1, 2012. Toe Up Socks with Gusset and Heel Flaps. I knit from both ends of the yarn, which is why the stripes progress in. This is a basic sock formula which can be adjusted. The numbers in my example fit a size 6 US shoe size (9 inches toe to heel, and 7.75inches around the ball of the foot). Gauge: 6.25 st/in. Yarn: Indulgence 6 Ply Distrato (at 426 yards, it looks like I have enough for another pair). Use a cast on appropriate for magic loop knitting, such as this. Row 2: K around.

RainyDayArt: I Ran A Marathon
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-ran-marathon.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. I Ran A Marathon. I ran the Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City on May 23rd, 2015! It's been a journey. I remember thinking that running a marathon was something I just couldn't do. When I started running, I couldn't make it to the end of the block. Each time I ran I tried to go a little bit further, one more house. Once you get to two miles adding more distance becomes easier. Why do they start races so early? Here I am somewhere around mile 9, before I saw the camera. Down the ...

RainyDayArt: May 2013
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Burnside Tunic is Finished. Detailed cable patterns are not the thing to knit when you have a toddler around, which is why this took me about a year to knit. It was a fun project to work on, and I definitely enjoy the finished sweater. More pictures to come! Want to knit this? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Etsy Mini - See Items in My Shop.

RainyDayArt: September 2013
http://rainydayart.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. I Am A Triathlete. I completed my first triathlon on September 7th, 2013, and I'm excited to do more! Let me tell you how I got here. After my daughter was born things took a while to go back into place. I had to hold my belly when I walked for about a week. I wish someone had told me about some kind of belly support back then. There are bands sold for just that purpose or a sheet or a wrap baby carrier would work too. Race day: I got up at 5:30 in the morning! Then I was r...
