Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the warehouse:

• Local favorite Blissful Knits is taking a break from dyeing. To say goodbye (for now), we have our stock of Platinum Sock on sale for 10% off. It's Twistedista Anna's absolute favorite base and we are definitely going to miss all of the lovely colors...
• Mohair fans rejoice! Our restock of Yoshi & Lucy Rosa yarn showed up at the warehouse this week and is already going quickly...
• Did you see our cute Hand Made tags from Katrinkles? Now have them in Blues and Pinks, too! 
• May starts this weekend and that means a new project for our Knit 12 Together Knitalong! This month we are knitting Harbert Socks by Soren Kerr and our yarn recommendation is the super soft Supernova Sock from Wildstar Fibers...

Around the web:

• May Day! Remember baskets? Here are some ideas to bring the tradition back...
• Wanna see what technology can recreate? Check out these 3D animations of Leonardo Da Vinci inventions...
• Mother's Day is coming and if your mom is still in pandemic puzzle mode, nothing will compare to a custom puzzle!
• Check out these amazing restored photos of Earth from Apollo astronauts...
• Has your pandemic sourdough habit left you with a lot of leftover bread? Food & Wine has some great recipes to help...
• What would you put on the cover of New Yorker magazine as we hopefully near the end of the pandemic? That what a design professor asked his students and the results are pretty amazing...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Grab your masks- First Sunday Flea Market is Sunday...
• Did you get your vaccine shot at the Convention Center? It is amazing how they have set it up how to get as many people in and out as quickly as possible...
• Looking for a little comfort food this weekend? Here's a list from Portland Monthly on the best spots in town for fried chicken...
• Concert goers rejoice! McMenamins is starting to schedule concerts at the Edgefield again!
