Meghan's Top 5: Selfish Knits for 2020

It's that time of year when the temperature plummets, the snow storms are piling fresh pile of powder on my doorstep, and all I can think about it knitting by the fire. It's around this time when my selfish knitlist bubbles to the front of my mind, so I thought I'd share with you my top 5 wishlist knits to make in Forge and Weld

1. The Twigs by Junko Okamoto

Indeed, this is at the very top of my queue! I love Junko's designs and The Twigs is certainly my favorite of all her gorgeous designs. The pattern is waiting patiently in my Ravelry library, and I already have my colors in Weld (Raven + Ash) picked out for this selfish knit! 

Until I have time, I'm going to continue drooling over Kehley's (@kehleycovi) gorgeous WIP, also in Raven + Ash.

 2. Summit by Sloane Rosenthal

It comes as a surprise to none that I love Sloane's designs. I've coveted Summit for what seems like eons now, and I'd love nothing more to have one in Weld. This light-weight, cozy, and over-sized cabled masterpiece is perfect for Weld worked at a looser gauge. The fibers bloom beautifully to create an airy, but warm fabric. I'm thinking I'd like this either in Charcoal or Red Feather. What a great conundrum! 

3. Volitare by Christina Danaee

Innovative colorwork is something that always catches my eye, so when Christina released Volitare I immediately smashed that ❤️ button. I love the subtle, monochromatic colors palette she chose for the original and I'm inclined to choose a similar subtle colors for my own sample in Weld

 Evergreen + Juniper 

OR

Midnight + Lake

 4. Pitch by Emily Greene

 

Friend of the flock Emily Greene's Pitch is my next selfish knit project. I've been dreaming about a coatigan like this and Emily's design fits the bill! My New Yorker wardrobe is, as expected, mostly black and grey, so I'm inclined to make Pitch in a color of Forge that coordinates. 

Fawn, Ash + Charcoal

5. Kailash Cabled Cardigan by Michele Wang

And last, but certainly not least, the Kailash Cabled Cardigan by Michele Wang. Michele is my favorite knitwear designer and my list of "to make" project probably exceeds possible knitting hours in my lifetime, but this coatigan is a must-make. I love the drama and grandeur, along with the sensible appeal for a fall/winter city dweller. I imagine myself walking the pupper and strolling around the city in my elegant duster, and there is only one color of Forge that springs to mind–Midnight. 

Midnight coordinates with black, gray, denim, and a wide range of other colors. I can't think of a more perfect color for this magnificent coat! 

Thank you for indulging my selfish knitting wishes. Stay tuned for Sloane's Top 5 next! 

Happy Knitting,

Meghan

p.s. Since I started writing this blog post a surprise selfish knit came into my life! 

* BONUS  PROJECT * 
Star Crossed by Jacqueline Cieslak

I couldn't help myself and immediately swatched for this perfect "Meghan" sweater. Although I love the use of Spincycle Dream State for the contrast color, I chose to keep it all in the H+W family and am using Forge in Raven for the MC and holding together Weld in Ash and Aspen for the CC. So far I don't have much to show for myself, but a wee bit of ribbing and two rows of the colorwork chart. 

 

I have to give a shout out to Emme (@rocksteadyemme), of Starlight Knitting Society, for her rad test knit of Star Crossed in Forge and Spincycle Dream State. She inspired me to make this sweater, and I just have to say how inspiring it is for me, a plus size woman, to see gorgeous plus size designers and knitters rocking their knits! 💪

    When most people hear the words “crypto recovery service, " their guard immediately goes up—and for good reason.

    In today’s online environment, finding a legitimate service feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Ask about trusted crypto recovery on any major forum—Reddit, Bitcointalk, or Twitter—and you’ll be met with immediate hostility. It has become a cultural bias: victims often prefer to file police reports (which rarely yield results) rather than seek private help, fearing that speaking openly will only attract more scammers.

    But here is the harsh truth: Silence doesn’t bring your funds back.

    The reality of the crypto landscape is brutal. Less than 10% of “recovery agencies” online are genuine. Fraudsters have mastered the art of mimicking trust, preying on the desperate and the skeptical alike. So, how do you separate the wolves from the professionals?

    The Golden Rule: No Upfront Fees

    If there is one single sign that separates a scam from a legitimate operation, it is the payment model.

    The Red Flag: Upfront Demands

    Predatory scams will always demand money before they lift a finger. They will invent reasons such as:
    "Processing fees.
    "Software license costs
    "Tax payments or legal retainers

    If an agency asks you to pay before they recover your assets, walk away. This is not a service; it is a secondary scam designed to bleed you dry after your initial loss.

    The Green Flag: Success-Based Fees

    A genuine agency knows its value lies in results, not promises. We operate on a transparent, success-based fee structure—typically around 10% of the recovered amount.

    Simply put: No recovery, no payment.

    We only eat when you do. This aligns our incentives entirely with yours. We don’t want your money upfront; we want to prove our competence by returning what is rightfully yours.

    Enter TechY Force Cyber Retrieval

    At TechY Force, we understand the skepticism. We’ve seen the forums. We know the stigma. That’s why we built our reputation on transparency, technical expertise, and a zero-risk model for our clients.

    We don’t ask for trust blindly; we earn it through action.

    How We Work

    1. Free Initial Consultation: We analyze your case without cost. If we can’t help, we tell you honestly.
    2. Investigation & Tracing: Our cyber-forensic team uses advanced blockchain analytics to trace stolen funds.
    3. Recovery Execution: We engage with exchanges, legal entities, and black-hat actors where necessary to secure your assets.
    4. Payment Upon Success: You only pay our agreed-upon percentage after the funds are securely returned to you.

    Breaking the Cycle of Fear

    The crypto industry was built on the idea of decentralization and personal sovereignty. But when things go wrong, isolation is your enemy. Scammers thrive in the shadows of your fear. Professionals thrive in the light of transparency.

    Don’t let the fear of secondary scams prevent you from seeking genuine help. Look for the golden rule. Look for the no-upfront-fee guarantee.

    Look for TechY Force Cyber Retrieval.
