Finished Objects: Meghan's Star Crossed ✨

Meghan's Star Crossed in Forge + Weld 

It's been a whirlwind month of knitting, but my Star Crossed by Jacqui Cieslak (@jacquelinecieslak) is finished! Emme's (@rocksteadyemme) gorgeous test knit of Star Crossed in Forge in our fawn colorway and Spincycle Dream State inspired me to immediately cast on a Star Crossed of my own!  

Ever since I finished my test knit for Stagleap, I've been itching to make a sweater for myself in Raven, so this project popped up at the perfect time. A black sweater might seem daunting, but ever since I started knitting with black yarn I've been actually wearing my handknits more than ever. Why? Because they actually match my unintentionally very New York wardrobe. It's really quite a revelation to make clothing that isn't in just a color I appreciate, but actually wear regularly. 

Although Spincycle Dream State is quite dreamy, I wanted to try holding together our Weld in two different colors for a marled look. Naturally, I selected aspen and ash, our natural white and gray, for the marl to contrast with all that delicious black. It turns out Weld x2 is a bit puffier than Forge, so I ended up using the same needle size throughout, instead of changing to a smaller needle for the colorwork, as the pattern recommends. It turned out just right! 

 
Weld held doubled in Ash + Aspen 

In process, it became clear that I needed to lengthen my Star Crossed for max comfort and wearability. Tunic length sweaters with cowls are my jam, so I worked the body to 19" [48 cm] before dividing for the front and back. This way the colorwork hem doesn't land on the widest point of my apple-shaped body, and instead pulls the eye downward. I've been styling my Star Crossed with a comfy black skater dress and leggings, as to not pull attention away from all that lovely colorwork at the hem.  

Friday at the Met

This sweater has already become a staple in my rotation, and I can totally see myself not only wearing it weekly, but easily become one of the sweaters I pull on over my pjs for cozy knitting time at night. 

Hot Tip: The lighting at the Met is the perfect place for FO photography.

What can I say other than I highly recommend both the pattern and making it in Forge + Weld x2! If you're all interested in one of our easy yarn bundles for this design, let us know and we can set it up on the site!  

Notably, it gives me all the feels to see a plus-size activist designer like Jacqui Cieslak (@jacquelinecieslak) creating beautiful patterns and photography that are universally embraced. As a plus-size knitwear designer, I've largely shied away from designing for myself, which I've come to realize deeply damaged my own feeling of self-worth, as well as reinforced the stigma of fatphobia. Knitting a gorgeous sweater by a plus size designer has not only given me a beautiful new sweater I'll cherish, but has also been an act of self love and embracing who I am as I am.

    It was lately that I had to hire a coder for Crypto-Recovery. I’m rather impressed. With the correct coder, anything is possible in the tech and cyber world, I discovered. It seems right to me to put you all in contact with a legitimate programmer if you have fallen for a Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency scam. My experiences with DRIP FX, an investment company, became problematic when I attempted to withdraw the 47,955 USD I invested with them. The so-called Bit miners were unable to assist me in getting access to my money. I made all of my investment deposits using untraceable cryptocurrency coins, yet I persisted in trying to get my money back. Fortunately, I was able to get my money back with the help of Wizard James Recovery Company’s assistance. I applaud their cyber prowess. If you’ve ever needed a programmer’s assistance, please get in touch with: wizardjamesrecovery @ usa.com

    They offer so many services such as:
    - Social Media Hacking
    - Gathering evidence of infidelity

My shoulders seemed to be lighter, and I couldn’t help but rejoice in this moment of victory.

Professional recovery companies like Wizard James Recovery have the knowledge and specific equipment needed to manage the intricate realm of Bitcoin recovery. They know how to apply cutting-edge techniques to recover lost money, are skilled at handling a variety of frauds, and are knowledgeable about the nuances of blockchain technology. Their resources and experience can have a big impact on the healing process and provide people a chance to get their money back. It is important to realise that seeking professional assistance is a smart and considered decision rather than a sign of weakness if you want to increase your chances of making a full recovery. The capacity of professional recovery teams to assist people in avoiding typical pitfalls and frauds during the recovery process is one of the main advantages of working with them.

My involvement with Wizard James Recovery has instilled in me the value of accepting obstacles and obtaining expert assistance when confronted with apparently insurmountable tasks. Admitting that you require the knowledge and assistance of those who are familiar with the nuances of cryptocurrency recovery is OK. You cannot succeed on your own. It is important to always value the qualities of perseverance and patience. Although getting back lost cryptocurrency is rarely easy, success is achievable if one has a strong will and the perseverance to keep going. It’s critical to seek professional advice, but it’s also critical to exercise caution. There are reputable recovery teams, such as Wizard James Recovery, but there are also con artists and false agencies. Choose carefully who you trust with your recovery path; educate yourself, do your homework. My experience with Wizard James Recovery changed the course of the difficult process of getting my lost Bitcoin back.
