Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the warehouse:

• NEW YARN ALERT! From Brooklyn Tweed, too! Tones is a worsted weight yarn similar to Shelter. 
• Moon and Turtle from Pom Pom came out this week and sadly, we are already sold out. But fear not! There are more on the way. Want to know *exactly* when they arrive? Use the "Notify Me" and you will get an email as soon as it arrives...
• The latest Pom Pom Quarterly magazine, Issue 38, came out this week, too. If you are looking for some inspiration for fall projects, you should definitely check it out...
• Do you have an interchangeble needle set from Hiya Hiya? We are super excited by some of the new pieces that we received this week like these totally cute Bead Stoppers! Even better, for those who like longer needle tips, you can get 2" Tip Extenders... 

Around the web:

• Yarn bombing is always so fun!
• Evergreen Architecture for the win!
• Sometimes you need an old school computer game as a way to take a 5 minute break...
• Embroidery as animation? 
• Need some cooking inspiration? Let the Woks Of Life help...
• Curious about that new IPCC climate change report but not sure you want to read 400 pages of possible dread? Quartz has a breakdown to help...
• And finally, here are ways you can help Haiti and Afghanistan...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Burger Week is back from Portland Mercury!
• Local crafting favorite Collage has a lovely blog post about summer crafts around succulents...
• Feeling like some outdoor retail therapy? Street fairs are happening in Portland and this weekend you can head to either Fremont Fest, the Hawthorne Street Fair or Multnomah Days...
• ROLLERSKATING!
