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.

    I just wanted to share this review with everyone who can come across it. Everyone reading this on this platform, and a great thanks to the admin who made this medium a lively one, where everyone can share their opinions. I am Mrs. Livania, from New York, United States, and a retired nurse. I was bedridden for 8 months to get back on my feet. During this period, I came across an ad with numerous positive reviews on a trading broker platform. I was very interested, so I decided to contact the platform and invest with them. After my first deposit, I was told there was an increase in buying stocks, so I had to send more funds, and this whole thing continued for a good 6 months. Before I could realize I was already bankrupt, when I discovered that I had been scammed for a total sum of 378,000 in Bitcoin and USDC, I tried to get some recommended hackers online, but I ended up getting scammed again and again, and it hurts me so much because I am a good person who doesn’t deserve this wicked treatment. I already gave up, but then I came in contact with Reposolsa Recovery. I said to myself, after dealing with Reposolsa Recovery and no result, it would be my final straw. I messaged them directly via WhatsApp (+12092944699), and they responded swiftly. I laid my complaint to them, they assured me that they won’t charge me a dime till the recovery is a success, I was flabbergasted. Their approach relies on working closely with forensic accountants and other experts, as well as law They have an excellent track record of holding scammers accountable, including asset freezes, Do not let scammers get away with your hard-earned cash, look for ways to recover your stolen funds To recover your Scammed funds back to your bank account or to your bitcoin wallet address also to Clear or Erase Criminal Records. You can contact Reposolsa Recovery to get professional Cybersecurity and Ethical hacking services.

    HIRE BITCOIN AND CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERTS HERE / WIZARD MILLER HACKER

    I am pleased to share my experience working with WIZARD MILLER HACKER and their recovery team, whose professionalism and expertise transformed a deeply challenging situation into a remarkable success story. Earlier this year, I became a victim of an elaborate cryptocurrency investment scam. The fraudulent platform displayed convincing professionalism, including simulated profits and responsive “support,” until I attempted to withdraw my funds. This triggered a series of fabricated fees, compliance demands, and eventual account restrictions. My savings — a substantial six-figure sum — became completely inaccessible. After exhausting all direct avenues with the platform, I engaged WIZARD MILLER HACKER. From our initial consultation, their team demonstrated clear competence and transparency. They explained the process in detail, established realistic expectations, and maintained consistent communication throughout. WIZARD MILLER HACKER approached my case with urgency, employing advanced digital tracing methods and legal strategies tailored to cryptocurrency fraud. Within 2 days, my funds were fully recovered — a result I had initially believed to be impossible. Beyond restoring my finances, WIZARD MILLER HACKER restored my confidence and peace of mind. I can recommend their services without hesitation to any individual or organization seeking professional assistance in recovering assets from fraudulent entities.
