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. ❤️

It started innocently enough. I was introduced to a cryptocurrency investment opportunity through someone I met in a social media trading group. The person seemed legitimate, knowledgeable, and patient. They even showed screenshots of successful trades, withdrawals, and glowing testimonials from other “investors.” I did some basic research, and everything appeared above board. The platform looked professional. The returns, though high, weren’t entirely unreasonable. So, I started with a small amount. I saw immediate “profits” on the dashboard. Encouraged, I invested more. And more. Eventually, over the course of two months, I had put in everything I had my savings, some borrowed funds, even emergency money I had set aside for my parents’ healthcare. In total: $119,000. Then, one day, I tried to withdraw. Nothing. The support stopped responding. The site kept saying there were “technical issues.” I started Googling the company again and noticed warnings I had missed. Forums, Reddit threads, complaints all about how people had been scammed the same way. My stomach dropped. I had been conned. At first, I was too ashamed to tell anyone. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. I felt like a failure. I was constantly on edge, paranoid, angry, and deeply depressed. My financial future was shattered, and I had no idea how to even begin recovering. Then I stumbled upon a post about Malice Cyber Recovery in a tech security forum. I was skeptical honestly, I thought it might be another scam. But I was desperate. I read every review I could find. Their team had helped others in similar situations recovering stolen crypto, tracing wallets, even working with law enforcement in some cases. I reached out, not expecting much. But from the very first interaction, something felt different. They didn’t overpromise. They didn’t guarantee miracles. They just listened to everything I had to say. No judgment. No rush. They laid out a clear process, explained how crypto recovery works, and told me exactly what they would need. I felt, for the first time in months, a glimmer of hope. The process was not easy it took several weeks of digging, tracing blockchain transactions, identifying the movement of funds, and preparing reports. But the Malice Cyber Recovery team kept me updated at every step. They were meticulous, professional, and persistent. They worked with a network of ethical hackers and legal consultants to track the movement of my funds across multiple wallets and mixers. And then, one day, I got the email: $119,000 successfully recovered. I broke down crying. To see that balance hit my account again… it felt like waking up from a nightmare. I still can’t believe it sometimes. I genuinely thought the money was gone forever. Malice Cyber Recovery didn’t just help me recover stolen money they gave me back my life. They gave me back my peace of mind, my future, and my self worth. If you’re reading this and you’ve been scammed I know how humiliating and devastating it feels. But don’t give up. Don’t let the scammers win. Reach out to the right people. For me, that was Malice Cyber Recovery
