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 feels good when you know you have a great credit profile. I was dying slowly inside until I opened up my situation to a colleague  who then recommended JERRY LIMK CREDIT GROUP, and narrated how they increased his score. I immediately contacted via: jerrylinkgroup@gmail.com, I made some financial commitment upfront. Days after, all the negative on report cleared, bankruptcy was removed completely, including foreclosure, and my score was raised to 789. I promised to let others know about their services. Do reach out to them via email. Thanks

    A virus attack was used to destroy $92,450 worth of my cryptocurrency. In between my binance, I was trading coins when I lost $92,450. I couldn’t understand how that could have occurred to me, so I was perplexed. When a tech guy from my company called Wizard James Recovery, a Cyber Security Hacking Personal Service, a few days later, he discovered that a malevolent scammer named MEV had taken my cryptocurrency out of my wallet. James had to come in right away and track down the transaction. Due to the bot’s actions, I lost nearly all of my money and had $92,450 stolen. Luckily for me, James used his advanced technologies and unique methods to effectively track down and retrieve this transaction without any delays. Thank you Wizard James for helping me recover so well; without him, I could have died. Please contact him using the following link if you were duped; he will undoubtedly make you happy again.

    I never thought I’d need to recover lost Bitcoin. I was always cautious, double-checking addresses and securing my accounts. But one phishing link changed everything. It looked identical to a crypto platform I trusted. Moments after entering my login details, my Bitcoin was gone, sent to an unknown wallet.

    The financial loss was painful, but the helplessness was worse. I knew that blockchain transactions are irreversible, and most forums confirmed my fear: “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”
    Then I found Morphohack Cyber Service, a recovery team that tracks stolen cryptocurrency, I reached out to them via E-mail (Morphohack@cyberservices . com).
    I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I reached out. From the start, they were clear and professional. They explained their method, tracing the stolen funds across the blockchain to find where they ended up.
    In my case, the Bitcoin had passed through several wallets before arriving at a centralized exchange. Morphohack acted fast, working with the exchange to freeze the assets using blockchain evidence.
    Weeks later, I got the email I didn’t think would come, my Bitcoin had been recovered.

    If you ever face a similar loss, act quickly and contact experts like Morphohack Cyber Services. Their help made the difference between a permanent loss and a second chance.

    I invested $86,000 worth of USDT into a stock market trading app, believing it to be a legitimate opportunity for me to make profit. It wasn’t until later that I discovered it was a Ponzi scheme. As a full-time investor, I was devastated by the loss and felt immense regret for trusting the marketing admin with my hard earned money. While grappling with the aftermath, I came across Reviews of jamesmckaywizard on GOOGLE while i was looking for ways to recover my stolen funds back. After researching, I found them to be a genuine and trustworthy crypto recovery team. I reached out to them, and they promptly guided me through the entire process via their email. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my USDT was fully recovered. I highly recommend their Service to anyone seeking assistance in recovering their crypto or money lost to anyone online due to false pretense or whatsoever via Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what ’Sapp +31- 65-74-46-24-8.
