New investor looking for advice!

Hi! I am 24, new to working on personal finance goals and am looking for a little advice as I am in a somewhat unusual financial situation. 

I’m currently not making a ton of money, but I am lucky to have very low expenses. I live with my parents currently and what I am responsible for is gas, extra food (dining out), products etc, and fun spending. I have been working and saving naturally at a 60% save rate. I'm open to optimizing my save rate even further. I have about 25k saved and have decided I want to keep a portion in my HYSA for emergencies, around 1-3 months of spending. I am then going to contribute fully to my Roth IRA, and I have been contributing 3% unmatched to my 401k. This leaves me with about $14k or so left. I want to be investing as much as I reasonably can, while still having a big enough safety net that I would be prepared for an unexpected expense. I’m wondering if anyone has advice on how much I should put into a brokerage account to invest, or if I should add more to my HYSA? Once I move this initial sum, I'm wondering what percentage of my 60% of savings I have from each paycheck I should put in each account?

I guess I am just nervous about moving what is a lot of money for me into investing. However, I really want to set myself up for success in the future and grow my money! Thank you for any and all advice :)

I am knitting the Sabai Top for the first time! I have done the top portion which is a stockinette stitch in the round. I did 11 total rows and did a knit stitch on each row in the round. It took me a while to figure out how to not twist my stitches. I am now knitting flat stockinette but all of the legs of my stitches are in the wrong orientation for my purling row. When I try to purl the row after turning the stitches around on my needle, the stitches end up in the wrong orientation for the next knit row. Does anyone know what caused this mistake or how I can fix it?? I can purl into the back loop and knit into the front loop I guess but I don’t want to do that for 40 rows. Help please!!!

To summarize- know that I have started stockinette flat instead of in the round, I’m finding that my stitches are in the wrong orientation on my needle
