WIP Wednesday: Meghan's The Throwover, Part 1

Guys, I might have too much time to knit. Is that possible? 

The Throwover by Andrea Mowry 1/2 done!

Early last week, I placed an order with one of our new stockists, Tolt Yarn and Wool, for Spincycle Dream State in Mississippi Marsala and Salty Dog, and it showed up on my doorstep just as I was blocking my freshly finished Kuffel

Several skeins of Forge in Midnight were already set aside for the delightful retro The Throwover by Andrea Mowry, so I eagerly wound up my skeins of hypnotically shifting Dream State to cast on ASAP! I'm making the 58" [147.5 cm] finished chest, which is the same size I made for my Kuffel, and measures on me about 8" [20.5 cm] of positive ease. 

Just like for my Kuffel (and with all top down sweaters), I skipped the neck ribbing and cast on using the long-tail cast on and started the yoke increases right away. Because I'm impatient, I went back and picked up the stitches for my neck ribbing right after I finished the yoke chart. All I did was pick up the number of stitches I cast on with my smaller needle, and worked my 1x1 rib. As usual, I finished the neck ribbing using the tubular bind off for a pristine edge!

Look at that gorgeous tubular bind off!

Here's the thing. I probably have too much time to knit, because approximately one "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Audible" later, my yoke was done! Spincycle has properly named Dream State, as it seems I was transported into such a state as I motored through my yoke watching the colors gently shift and blend. 

(Pretty sure this was the point in my yoke/HP book binge where Harry and Ron figured out what Hermione had already figured out 100 pages ago... #girlsrule)

After I separated the sleeves and body I decided to give this sucker a quick try on to see how it fit. I steamed it out to get rid of any major pre-blocking lumpiness and placed it on a few long circular needles. 

(Late night bathroom quarantine selfie with Hipster Sheep Popsocket!)

It looks great! I'm super pleased with the fit so far, and, from the look of the bicep circumference, they aren't too big, which is a rather common problem in many pattern graded up for larger sizes. Woohoo!

There are plans in the making for lower body modifications, but I'm not ready to commit to them publicly yet. Stay tuned for an update and I'll unveil either the finished body as written or modified!

Until next time, happy knitting (in quarantine) and stay healthy and safe. ❤️

    HOW TO WIN THE LOTTERY WITH EASE: My name is Charles Coffey, and I’m 81 years old. I’ve always believed in doing good and standing for what’s right, but recently I experienced something truly amazing thanks to Lord Bubuza. For years, I played Lotto Max without any luck. My wife asked me to stop because it felt like a waste of money, and that really hurt. One day, while reading online, I came across people talking about Lord Bubuza and how he helped them win the lottery. Out of curiosity and hope, I reached out to him on WhatsApp. He was kind and explained what he needed to cast a lottery spell. Just two hours later, he sent me seven numbers and a bonus number. I played them and to my shock, I won $1,000,000! I still can’t believe it. Lord Bubuza truly changed my life and gave me joy again. I’ll always be thankful to him. You can contact him via email: Lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com or on WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313

    Last week, I fell victim to a devastating cryptocurrency scam involving a fraudulent eBay seller. The seller offered a Ledger hardware wallet that appeared brand new and authentic. However, it came pre-configured with a recovery seed phrase that he secretly controlled. After I transferred my cryptocurrency holdings to the device, he used that recovery phrase to gain access and steal my funds.

    In total, I lost approximately $870,000 worth of ETH and BTC that were stored in that wallet. However, the scammer made one critical mistake. He overlooked an additional $44,000 worth of USDC stablecoins that I had stored on the Polygon network using the same wallet address. It appears that he either didn’t realize I had assets on another blockchain or didn’t know how to navigate between different networks to access them.

    Since discovering the theft, I have been researching options for asset recovery and blockchain investigation. I came across TROY HACKS CYBER SERVICES, a specialized team known for handling cryptocurrency recovery cases and blockchain tracing. Their expertise in digital forensics and cyber investigations may help recover or trace the stolen funds. Contact info as below. Trust they’re among the reliable and capable in this feild

    I got a message from someone on Telegram who claimed to be part of an exclusive investment group. They shared screenshots of massive profits and even added me to a group chat filled with people celebrating their withdrawals. It looked real, and everyone in the group seemed excited, so I decided to join in. I invested what I could, and at first, my account showed great results the profits kept increasing every day. But when I tried to withdraw, the admin said I needed to deposit more to “activate” my account. After sending more money, I was suddenly removed from the group, and the platform disappeared the next morning. That’s when I realized all those happy members were fake accounts everything was a setup to make it look real. Thanks to assetsfix that helped me recover back my lost money.
