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. ❤️

    I lost 200K after I was deceived into buying fake ICOs by a forex trader and it turned out I was being manipulated into buying nonexistent coins.

    I would advise everyone who intends to go into crypto trading to be wary and avoid these people who pretend to know it all and claim to be forex managers who are only out to steal from you. I’m grateful for the intervention of Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to help me detect this was a Fake ICO and told me how they were creating these fake and worthless coins to convince their victims in other to steal from them, Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace the crypto I sent to them to put into this platform, Morphohack retrieved my crypto funds and we reported the outcome of the investigation to the authorities. I strongly recommend Morphohack Cyber if you want to recover your crypto funds from these crypto scammers.

    My sincere gratitude to Morphohack Cyber Service for helping me recover my crypto assets from the FTX exchange where my deposits of 687k worth of coins have been held for more than two months without release.
    I thought my assets were gone forever as all means to withdraw from the FTX trading exchange were unsuccessful, but I was told about the services of Morphohack Cyber Services who was able to help me recover my crypto assets after I provided my wallet address and evidence of the transactions. FTX exchange has locked my account for months with no response but thanks to the services of Morphohack Cyber Service, I was able to recover my crypto assets. It’s important to do your due diligence before investing in any platform. Morphohack can be contacted via
