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
Earlier this year, I went through one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I lost $605,000 to what turned out to be an elaborate investment scam. It started like most of these things do — with a convincing platform, promising high returns through crypto staking and arbitrage. The interface looked polished, the support team responded quickly, and for a while, everything seemed to be running smoothly. I even saw some small early returns, which gave me confidence to invest more.
Then, just like that, it was gone. The platform stopped updating. Emails bounced back. My dashboard froze. And I realized the terrifying truth: I’d been scammed.
The feeling that followed was a mix of disbelief, shame, and helplessness. I thought my money was gone for good. But after doing some research and reaching out in online forums, I came across a company called CLOUDSTRIKE CYBER Security Company. At that point, I had nothing to lose, so I reached out to them via email at [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]
To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. From the very beginning, their team made me feel heard. They didn’t make any exaggerated promises, but they were confident they could help. I shared everything I had — wallet addresses, transaction records, emails, even screenshots of my chats with the scammers.
Cloudstrike got to work immediately. They used advanced blockchain tracing tools to follow the trail of my stolen crypto. Even though the scammers tried to cover their tracks by moving funds through different wallets and crypto mixers, Cloudforce’s team managed to untangle the web. They identified where the money had gone and who had control over the wallets.
They then coordinated with a network of cryptocurrency exchanges and legal advisors to file the necessary reports. Through their efforts, the suspicious accounts were flagged and frozen. Over the next few weeks, they were able to recover the entire $605,000. The funds were transferred back to my wallet securely, in verified stages. I received constant updates, and they explained every step of the process clearly, which gave me real peace of mind.
Even after the funds were returned,Cloudstrike went a step further. They helped me do a full security audit, showed me how to better protect my assets going forward, and gave me practical tips on avoiding similar scams in the future.
To say I’m grateful is an understatement. I never thought I’d see that money again. What impressed me most wasn’t just their technical skill, but their honesty and professionalism throughout the process. They treated my case with urgency, respect, and care — something you rarely find these days.
If you or someone you know has fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend Cloudstrike Cyber Security Company enough. They are the real deal.

What a great success working with the best hacking team out there to recover my lost investment in Bitcoin. Earlier last month, I was involved with this online investment scheme that a friend introduced me to, but little did we know that the company was all a scam and never really existed. However, they were offering huge returns on profits, and that triggered my interest the more. The first few weeks were cool. I got paid out a couple of times. All of a sudden, I couldn’t withdraw my funds again, and this time, I am heavily invested in the company. I tried everything I could. Still, all was to no avail and that’s when I knew I needed an extra help here, made a couple of research on how to recover my funds back and I ended up working with “ FASTFUND RECOVERY “ this team were just very good at what they are doing .. with their help I was able to get back all of my initial investment and profits also. They are the best team that someone who is in the same condition that I was needs right now, and make sure you do just that either through their official email: Fastfundrecovery8 (@)gmail com or on Whatsapp 18075007554. website: https://fastfundrecovery8.wixsite.com/fastfundsrecovery …
