WIP Wednesday: Meghan's The Throwover, Part 1

1500 comments

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. ❤️

    I’m Susan Sosnowski, a retired teacher from Texas. I spent over 30 years in the classroom, most of them at Oak Ridge Elementary School in Houston. I’ve always tried to be financially prudent budgeting carefully, saving consistently, and planning for a modest but comfortable retirement. A few months into retirement, I came across a cloud mining investment platform online. It promised 20 percent monthly returns. The website looked legitimate, packed with technical details and glowing testimonials. I did some checking and even spoke to a so-called “account manager.” Everything seemed professional. I thought, maybe this is a chance to make my savings stretch a little further. I decided to invest $25,000. And for the first three months, the returns came as promised, on time, every month. I felt confident. Then, without warning, the website disappeared. The emails stopped. The phone numbers were dead. That’s when the reality hit: I had been scammed. At first, I was overwhelmed with embarrassment and regret. I didn’t know where to turn until I stumbled across Cyber Constable Intelligence during an online search. I hesitated. Could I really trust another online service? But something about their approach felt different measured honest and transparent. From the very first call, Cyber Constable Intelligence treated me with respect and care. They explained their process clearly and made no unrealistic promises. Their team launched a full investigation into the scam. What they uncovered was sobering the platform was a classic Ponzi scheme. There was no mining, just a cycle of using new investors’ money to pay old ones. Their investigators traced my stolen funds through the blockchain, tracking them across digital wallets and exchanges. Eventually, they located a significant portion in a Tether reserve based in Seychelles. With relentless effort and negotiation, Cyber Constable Intelligence secured a substantial recovery. I got back $20,000. Not quite everything I lost, but it was more than I ever expected to see again. It felt like a second chance. Cyber Constable Intelligence gave me more than money. They gave me closure, confidence, and the sense that someone was on my side. If you’ve been scammed, don’t suffer in silence. Turn to Cyber Constable Intelligence who know how to fight back.

    I downloaded what I thought was an official Trust Wallet browser extension. Within days, my entire portfolio was drained without any transactions showing in my history. Fortunately, I reached out to TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT, a company specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. They analyzed the malicious extension and traced my funds through seven mixer wallets before identifying the hacker’s exchange deposit. Their expertise was instrumental in working with the exchange to freeze the assets, ultimately recovering 68% of my $92,000 loss. I was excited about the convenience of managing my cryptocurrency through a browser extension. The Trust Wallet app had received positive reviews, and I believed that the extension would enhance my trading experience. However, I soon realized that I had fallen victim to a sophisticated phishing scheme. The extension I downloaded was a fake, designed to look like the official Trust Wallet but was actually a tool for hackers to gain access to users’ funds. After noticing unusual activity in my account, I immediately checked my transaction history, only to find that there were no records of any withdrawals. This lack of transparency made me panic, as I had no idea how my funds had vanished. I reached out to the Trust Wallet support team, but they were unable to assist me since the extension was not legitimate. Feeling helpless and frustrated, I knew I needed to take immediate action to recover my lost assets. Desperate for help, I turned to TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT Website w w w:// trus-tgeeks-hack-expert.com/ Their team quickly sprang into action, conducting a thorough analysis of the malicious extension. TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT was able to trace my stolen funds through a complex web of seven mixer wallets, which are often used by criminals to obfuscate the origin of stolen assets.

TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT collaborated with the exchange to freeze the assets before they could be further laundered.
