Weekend Round Up!

Plied knowledge from the week that was…

At the store:

2019!!! We have been busy winding more Shifting Shadows kits if you are looking for a brand new project for the new year...
A huge restock of Knitted Wit Worsted came in at the beginning of the week. And yes, it included Harry Potter colors AND National Parks colors!
Malabrigo Rios and Malabrigo Rasta also showed up en masse. So many beautiful colors and so much yarn....
Brooklyn Tweed Holiday Trunk Show is in the store and GORGEOUS. Looking for a project for yourself or to get a jump on next year's holiday season? Stop in for inspiration and to see these lovely pieces in the wild!
Our January k12tog kal project is the Barley Light hat from Tin Can Knits in Knitted Wit Victory Sock... maybe with some Fairy Floss added for funsies?

Around the web:

Feel the need to de-stash before you go wild in the new year? We've tracked down lots of ways to use up yarn both with hooks and needles and without! Feeling the need to latch hook without the actual latch hook? The internet has you covered for that, too, with this DIY faux latch hook wall hanging...
Like the idea of New Year's Resolutions but don't actually like to make them? Twistedista Dawn saw this idea floating around the web and likes it very much...
For those who feel they overindulged last month, here's a 31 Day Vegetarian Challenge and for those who aren't done indulging yet, be patient because Blue Wine is hopefully coming to the US soon...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

Ok, we are bending the rules on this one. The director is totally local as is Laika, the production house he is the CEO of. Shocking everyone it seems that the new Bumblebee Transformers movie Travis Knight directed is getting good reviews! Given the rainy forecast for Portland, definitely a good weekend for a movie...

Have a great weekend and remember, you can always find us online!
