Meghan's Holiday Gift Guide Picks

The time crunch is real. It's that time of year where the days are literally and figuratively so short that my gift-knitting time seems to evaporate. Nevertheless, I've pulled together my most-coveted quick knits, gift list for the people I love the most. The only problem is I kind of want them for myself, too! 

For Mom: Sangaku by Melanie Berg

My mom is a notorious "asker-of" hand knitwear. As soon as she rips open the box holding a new sweater or accessory she's thrilled and then promptly asks for another. I've been contemplating what to make for Annie this year, as I already made her a Tangled Up in Gray in Forge. Finally, I settled on the gorgeous Sangaku by Melanie Berg. This shawl's been on my knitlist for quite some time, and Weld in Red Feather and Fawn is perfect for my warm tone-loving mom.

For Dad: Fulton by Emily Greene

My dad requested a "hat in lake" the moment he saw the color return from the dye house. For a man who asks for almost nothing and has given me so much, I thought the first hat made in Forge was the perfect gift for him this Christmas.

The problem is I couldn't wait to give it to him! And he loves it! It's a constant companion in his coat pocket or on his noggin'. Complete with a H+W Foldover Custom Leather Tag, he's been wearing his Fulton proudly since I gave it to him. 

For my sister: Marin Headlands by Sloane Rosenthal

Cable-y goodness complete with a floofy pom pom. Marin Headlands is the perfect hat for my sister's busy, battle-the-elements, New Yorker life. The brim is nice and deep to pull over her ears and the pom pom adds comical whimsy, which is appropriate for my sister's cartoon character personality. Of course, as she is a New Yorker so there are, um, limited, but sophisticated, color options in Forge

Raven + Charcoal

Hopefully I can pull off my knitlist before the clock chimes midnight on Christmas Eve. Even if I don't there is always our Ready-to-Wear Beanies in Charcoal, Ash, and Fawn for either a backup or front runner. 

My cousin Dan and his awesome wife, Laurén, wore their new H+W beanies in their Christmas card photo. Brinkley had to get in on the action, too. Dogs are the best photo bombers, right?

Good boy, Brinkles! 😂

Happy Holidays, everyone!

    As a member of a group of investors who pooled together $350000 in Bitcoin, I often reflect on our tumultuous journey, especially since many of us hailed from Chicago. Our initial enthusiasm was palpable; we were eager to dive into Bitcoin mining convinced that this venture would yield substantial profits. After conducting thorough research, the potential seemed boundless. However, our aspirations quickly devolved into a harrowing ordeal when we fell victim to a sophisticated scam. The calamity began when we were approached by an individual claiming to be a supplier for DeBeers, the renowned diamond company. This person presented an enticing offer for high-quality mining equipment at an unbelievably low price. Ensnared by the prospect of significant savings, we made the fateful decision to transfer our Bitcoin to this supplier’s wallet believing we were making a sound investment. Little did we know we were being lured into a meticulously crafted trap. Once the transaction was finalized, the harsh reality struck us. The supplier vanished without a trace leaving us with nothing but a gaping void in our finances and shattered dreams. The sense of betrayal was overwhelming. We had placed our trust in this individual only to discover that we had become victims of a well-orchestrated scam. The loss was not merely financial; it felt like a profound betrayal of our collective trust and aspirations. We grappled with self-doubt and questioned the decisions that led us to this point. We resolved not to let this setback define us. Determined to recover our lost funds, we sought the expertise of TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL, a specialized recovery service renowned for its proficiency in tracing stolen cryptocurrency. TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL quickly emerged as our beacon of hope. Their team of adept professionals worked tirelessly to track our stolen Bitcoin through various exchanges. Utilizing advanced blockchain analysis techniques, they meticulously traced the movement of our funds navigating through layers of transactions and obfuscation tactics employed by the scammers. The process was arduous but TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL kept us informed at every juncture providing updates and instilling a sense of optimism that we could recover at least a portion of our investment. After what felt like an eternity, TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL achieved the remarkable feat of recovering 95% of the stolen Bitcoin. The moment we received the news was a euphoric blend of joy and disbelief. While we had incurred a significant loss, recovering such a substantial portion of our funds felt like a hard-won victory in the face of adversity. TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL not only restored our faith in the cryptocurrency ecosystem but also reminded us that there are dedicated professionals willing to assist victims like us. This has imparted invaluable lessons about the paramount importance of vigilance and due diligence in the cryptocurrency realm. I now understand the necessity of thoroughly vetting suppliers and exercising caution with investments. While we faced a significant setback, the recovery process facilitated by TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL has allowed us to regroup and reevaluate our approach to Bitcoin mining. Armed with newfound knowledge and prudence, I feel better equipped to navigate the complexities of the cryptocurrency market ensuring that I make informed decisions in the future. I hope our story serves as a cautionary tale for others in Chicago and beyond reminding them to remain vigilant in this ever-evolving landscape. Thanks to TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL we not only regained a substantial portion of our investment but also emerged from this experience wiser and more cautious ready to confront the challenges of the cryptocurrency world with renewed determination.

    To become a lottery winner, one must first achieve spiritual enlightenment focused on positivity. I consider myself fortunate to have won a staggering $750,000,000 after connecting with a spell expert named Lord Meduza. He is incredibly sincere, and honest about their work. He opened my eyes to the concept of spirituality. When I expressed my desire to win the Mega Million, he informed me that it wasn’t in my destiny to win that but rather I am meant to win the Powerball instead, which I agreed to. After 2 weeks of intense spiritual work, I received the numbers from him and I followed his instructions to play them resulting in a $750,000,000 win on the Powerball lottery. Beware of those fraudulent spell experts who claim to have knowledge about spells but actually they know nothing. Lord Meduza is the ultimate choice for obtaining your lottery winning numbers.
