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. ❤️

    WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY: A sympathetic advocate for recovery with knowledge of sustainable recovery.
    Recovering one’s bitcoin holdings following a devastating breach can be a challenging and complex procedure, but with the right guidance and information, it is possible to get back what was lost. In my case, a highly competent cyberattack resulted in the instantaneous loss of my digital assets from my cryptocurrency wallet. Panic and sorrow began to set in as I battled with the realization that my financial stability had been shattered. I didn’t give up, though, and after much investigation, I discovered Wizard James Recovery, a company renowned for its ability to track down and recover stolen cryptocurrency. When I spoke with their employees, they listened intently to the details of my situation and gave me a warm, understanding response. Using their deep knowledge of blockchain technology and hacking methods, the Wizard James experts began meticulously following the whereabouts of my stolen funds as they navigated the intricate world of cryptocurrency transactions. They relentlessly followed the digital trail, uncovering the complex web of exchangers and wallets the hackers had used to conceal their actions. The recovery process was made possible by the Wizard James Recovery team’s utilization of cutting-edge equipment and sophisticated investigative techniques to find my missing valuables. In order to freeze the illegal funds and begin the retrieval procedure, the Wizard James Recovery specialists worked with law authorities and cryptocurrency exchanges in a delicate and complex operation. I was thrilled to see my cryptocurrency holdings returned to my legitimate wallet after overcoming a complex web of legal and technological obstacles thanks to the team’s knowledge and perseverance. I will always be grateful to the Wizard James Recovery team for their unwavering efforts in helping me get back what was properly mine and leading me through this terrifying experience. The sense of relief and restored peace of mind was evident. For additional information:

    Ahoj všichni na tomto fóru, jsem Luis Root z USA, nemohu uvěřit, že Bůh skutečně neexistoval, dokud jsem nebyl vykoupen a zachráněn z finančního otroctví. Byl jsem ve finanční krizi a potřeboval jsem zaplatit nějaké účty. Zkoušel jsem hledat pomoc v bankách, ale vše bez úspěchu, také jsem zkoušel hledat pomoc na internetu, jen abych se setkal s podvodníky, kteří předstírali, že jsou soukromým věřitelem a přišli o mých 15 000 $ a nedostali mou půjčku, dokud mě BŮH nepředstavil Moore Robbinsonovi prostřednictvím přítele, který byl zachráněn z finančních problémů a půjčku ve výši 100 000 000,00 $ mu vzal Moore, poradil mu Moore, Loson mu byl poskytnut Loan Společnosti a během jednoho týdne mi byla poskytnuta moje půjčka ve výši 200 000 $, takže radím všem, kteří hledají půjčku s nízkou úrokovou sazbou 2 %. Dělám to, protože jsem tak šťastný, jsem z finančního otroctví a jsem opět plný radosti a život je snadný, to vše díky Bohu a Moore Robbinsonovi.

    Hello, I’m Jack Frampton from San Antonio, Texas. I want to share my story of how I fell victim to a crypto Ponzi scheme when I came across a phony website pretending to be a genuine crypto exchange, I never knew they created a fake exchange page where their victims deposit cryptos in the hope of their huge profits unknowingly that they were being conned. Morphohack Cyber Service made me realize that I was a victim of these scams after I contacted them when this same exchange website refused to let me withdraw my crypto funds. I was devastated and contacted Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to recover my crypto funds and told me about this scam. I would advise people out there to be more careful and do their due diligence before investing in crypto.
