Wednesday WIP: The Throwover, Pt. 2
Meghan's The Throwover WIP
Guys, it's been a week and it's only Wednesday. I've been working steadily along on projects seen and unseen, and some are giving me a harder time than others. As a distraction from those fiber projects, I decided to take a stab at my old adversary: baking bread.
Yes, I'm one of those people growing a sourdough starter on my kitchen counter. Honestly, I have no idea how it's going. There appears to be life, and I've fed it a couple of times, but it's yet to fluff up the way the internet promises. More on that next time. Either I will have flushed it down the toilet or I'll have some sort of fluffy, sponge-like thing in a mason jar that can leaven bread.
Day 4: What? 🤷🏻♀️
In the meantime, while I stress over my inability to cultivate bacteria in a jar, I've also been working sporadically on my The Throwover by Andrea Mowry. This is the second top down sweater in a row, but the first that has all the colorwork only on the yoke. Despite my best intentions to finish this quickly, the mountain of stockinette in the body and sleeves isn't keeping my attention for long periods of time.
So stretchy and beautiful!
No matter! Let's revel in what I have accomplished! The body is complete and finished with a lovely, stretchy tubular bind off. I decided, after much deliberation and cutting, to make the body as written in the pattern. For me, the length of this sweater is a bit short, and I think after blocking this will fit more like a crop than a standard length sweater, but that is fine by me! Given the length, I'll probably style it over a dress.
In hindsight, I probably would have made the stockinette section a bit shorter and the ribbing a little longer so it really nipped in nicely at my natural waist, but I think the swingy, drapey fabric of Forge on US 8 / 5 mm needles is going to make for a more graceful sweater.
Look at that pretty bind off!
And speaking of tubular bind offs, check out my gorgeous neckline, as well! I can't get enough of this bind off, and will have to do a tutorial as soon as I achieve some rudimentary video editing skills.
Until next time! Keep safe, stay home, and keep on making-growing-doing beautiful things.

Meghan
I was relocating from Colorado to Massachusetts for a promising job opportunity and needed a long-term rental to settle into a stable routine. I began searching through Airbnb for fully furnished apartments that would be comfortable and professional enough for someone starting a new chapter in a new city. After hours of browsing I found a stunning listing in Cambridge that seemed absolutely perfect. It was in a peaceful neighborhood close to my new office and offered everything I needed for a three-month stay. I reached out to the host directly to discuss the arrangement. Since I frequently use crypto for my major transactions I asked if they would accept payment in USDT. The host responded positively and claimed they had recently started taking crypto for extended bookings. We finalized an agreement for $120000 covering the full three-month rental period. Confident in the process I transferred the funds and sent the transaction screenshot along with what appeared to be a valid smart contract hash. Everything seemed secure and professional. But the very next day I received a message saying the payment had not arrived. I double checked the wallet address I had used and confirmed it matched what was provided. I assumed it might be a minor network delay. Soon after communication from the host went completely silent. My messages were ignored and the reality hit me hard. I had been deceived by someone posing as a legitimate host using a fabricated identity and a spoofed payment address. The smart contract hash was fake and the funds were lost. I felt completely shattered. That $120,000 was my full relocation budget and essential for my new start. In desperation I confided in a friend who lives in London. He told me about a firm called Digital Tech Guard Recovery that specializes in blockchain fraud investigations. I contacted them immediately and their response was swift and professional. Their team investigated the fake smart contract and traced the wallet address. It turned out the same scammer had been involved in rental fraud schemes across Illinois Georgia and Washington. Their operation was far-reaching and deliberately targeted renters making long-term crypto payments. Amazingly just two days later Digital Tech Guard Recovery called me. They had successfully recovered the full $120,000. I was stunned with relief and gratitude as I watched the funds reappear in my wallet. Thanks to Digital Tech Guard Recovery I was finally able to move and secure a place to stay. you can reach out to them on WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 – 2886
