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!

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! 💪

    As cryptocurrency continues to gain mainstream adoption across the United States, cases of wallet breaches, exchange scams, and investment fraud have increased. In response, a new niche industry, Infinite Digital Recovery, has emerged to help victims trace and reclaim their stolen or lost funds. Among the firms often discussed within this space is Infinite Digital Recovery, a company that has attracted attention for its professional approach and positive client feedback about recovering their crypto.

    Professionalism and Transparency
    Infinite Digital Recovery is noted for its structured and transparent process when handling recovery inquiries. The company reportedly evaluates each case individually before proceeding, focusing on traceability, blockchain forensics, and communication.
    Clients have highlighted the firm’s emphasis on clarity and accountability, qualities that are especially important in an industry where scam recovery itself can be a target for new fraud.

    Client Feedback and Industry Reputation
    Online reviews and discussion boards feature numerous accounts from individuals who claim to have received responsive and professional assistance from Infinite Digital Recovery. These testimonials frequently cite strong communication, realistic expectations, and detailed transaction tracking.
    While outcomes can vary from case to case, this consistent feedback has contributed to the company’s growing recognition among crypto users seeking help after experiencing losses.

    A Broader Look at Crypto Recovery
    Digital asset recovery in the U.S. is a complex process. True recovery often involves a combination of blockchain analytics, legal cooperation, and exchange compliance. Professionals in this field typically assist with:

    *Identifying blockchain wallet movements.

    *Helping clients understand the recovery feasibility of their assets.

    Firms like Infinite Digital Recovery position themselves within this evolving investigative ecosystem, aiming to bridge the gap between technology and accountability.

    Official business websites and contact details.
    Licensing or registration status.
    Clear service terms must be provided before sharing any wallet information.

    Practicing due diligence helps victims avoid further financial harm and ensures that only credible professionals handle sensitive cases.

As more people invest in digital assets, reliable recovery services play a vital role in restoring confidence. While Infinite Digital Recovery is frequently cited for its professionalism and client-focused approach, by combining legitimate investigation methods with responsible client engagement, the crypto recovery industry is gradually earning greater trust within the broader digital economy.
