#needleworkmonday :: "Shoulwaist" strap tested!
Hey, hey, hey there everyone! Happy #NeedleWorkMonday
| The "Shouldwaist" Experiment | ||
|---|---|---|
| Description | To test out "Shoulwaist" movement while brisk walking / jogging | |
| Duration | 60 minutes | |
| Garment top | Lycra/Cotton | |
| Garment bottom | Cotton tights | |
| Gradient | Average 7.7% | |
| Speed | Average 5.5 kmph | |
| Movement summary | Brisk walking with occasional treadmill dancing | |
| Results | "Shoulwaist" tendency to move to the front from side of hips is less than 10%. The pouch may feel like it wants to move to the front but because of the friction at the cross path between the shoulder and waist, the pouch remains at the side of hips with slight movement. When the pouch moves slightly to the front, I could easily slide it back to the side/back of my hips by shifting the knot on the opposite side of my waist/hip. There were times when I was too engrossed with the songs playing in my ear, I totally forgot I had a pouch resting on my hips, as opposed to previously when the pouch kept moving to the front which annoyed me to bits 😠. | |
| Conclusion | I am happy with my "shoulwaist! 😊😎 |
Here is a quick process debrief...
The "shoulwaist" strap started with about 10m to 12m of crocheted chains:
Then, I divided the 1200cm to 3 equal parts and knotted one end for braiding - to get a sturdier strap:
Next, to start braiding, I used a heavy deco to keep the chains in position and gathered tie each of the 3 ends:
Warning: This can test your patience quite a bit when the ends keep getting tangled 😵
Once the braiding has been completed, insert the strap through the side and the back like so:
And it will look like this:
Then, I wore it this way:
I was thinking to use these at first:
But in the end, I decided not to because I was thinking better to maintain the friction at the joints to prevent movement of the "shoulwaist" from moving from the side to the front.
That is me on the treadmill, getting ready for action! 😁

My Actifit Today: April 8, 2019
I went to the mall next to my office, looking for my usual breakfast bar but to no avail. I ended up just walking around and went to gym after work for a 60 minutes brisk walk at an average gradient of 7.7% and managed to burn 379 calories while testing out my “shoulwaist” strap. Yay!
That is definitely useful and cute too. 😊
Hehe thank you @jluvs2fly :)

Happy running, @marblely! Safety-wise do be careful the straps don't get caught in branches when you're exercising.
Oh, dear I had to update my comment as I'd made a mistake... too much driving for me today again...
Hehe it is ok @cryptocariad :) Yup yup. I will probably stay indoors with this one, no branches in the way :)

Finally, I realized how you wore a second lower belt)))) great idea !!!!
Ok testing is done, now the mass production must follow :-D
It is so great to hear your design is working. Will you offer the pattern on ravelry, I could imagine it to be liked, as I have never seen such a construction before? And for the outdoor safety (I read @cryptocariad's comment) I think one could simply wear the straps beneath a shirt, then there is no risk of being caught in the bushes :-D
Love your post!!!!!!
