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. ❤️

Late last year, I stumbled upon what looked like a professional crypto trading platform offering high-yield investments with expert guided automation. The testimonials seemed legitimate, and the website design was sleek and convincing. I had dabbled in crypto before, so I wasn’t completely naïve or so I thought. Over months, I invested gradually. The profits rolled in quickly, and I began to trust the system. Encouraged, I ended up committing a total of $260,000 worth of Bitcoin. But when I tried to withdraw, the nightmare began. Excuses piled up security verification issues, technical upgrades, and finally, a demand for more money to unlock withdrawals is a classic red flag. It hit me then I’d been scammed. The panic was immediate, followed by helplessness. I had no idea how or even if I could recover the funds. That’s when a friend recommended Dexdert Net Recovery. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them. Unlike the scammers, Dexdert’s team was transparent, professional, and surprisingly human.

My name is George Jenks, and I want to share something deeply personal that I hope might help someone out there. A few months ago, I fell victim to a binary trading scam that ended up costing me around $180,000 worth of Bitcoin. It was one of the most painful and disheartening experiences of my life. I truly believed I was making a smart investment—everything looked legitimate, from the website to the so-called “financial advisors” who kept reassuring me. But the moment I tried to withdraw my funds, everything went quiet. They stopped replying, and reality hit me hard. I had been scammed.
I was devastated. Not just because of the money, but because of how helpless I felt. After doing some research and reading stories from people in similar situations, I came across a company called Cloudstrike Cyber Service. At first, I didn’t get my hopes up—let’s be honest, after losing that much, it’s hard to trust anyone. But I figured I had nothing more to lose, so I reached out to them at [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]
From the beginning, they were incredibly professional and straightforward. They didn’t promise miracles, but they did assure me they would do everything in their power to trace and recover the stolen assets. And that’s exactly what they did. Through careful blockchain analysis, technical expertise, and persistent work, they were able to track down the stolen funds and successfully recover a large portion of what I had lost. It felt like waking up from a nightmare.
To this day, I still don’t know how to properly thank them. What they did went beyond just helping me get my money back—they gave me back my peace of mind. The best way I can show my appreciation is by recommending them to anyone who’s going through something similar. If you’ve been scammed or lost money in crypto fraud, I strongly encourage you to contact them. Their email is [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

They made a real difference in my life, and I believe they can do the same for others.

I was actually fooled and sca*m*med over ( $753,000 ) by someone I trusted with my funds through a transaction we did and I feel so disappointed and hurt knowing that someone can steal from you without remorse after trusting them, so I started searching for help legally to recover my stolen funds and latter came across a lot of Testimonials about JAMESMCKAYWIZARD, an agent who helps in recovering lost funds, which I can tell has helped so many people who had contacted him regarding such issues and without a questionable doubt with positive reviews, it took the expert 48hours to help me recover my funds and the best part of it all was that the sca*mmer was actually located and arrested by local authorities in his region which was very relieving.
