Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the warehouse:

• Once again, we could not resist ordering new stuff from Cocoknits... Our lack of willpower is your gain! We have a new color of their lovely tape measure AND a new bamboo cable needles for you to try...
• Tones has been getting all of the love from Brooklyn Tweed lately but we did just get in a small restock of their lovely Arbor, too...
• Laine Nordic Knit Life Issue 12 is out today!
• We are sad to say goodbye to Huckleberry Knits! This lovely PNW dyer is packing up their dye pots and we have Gradient Sock Blanks and American Dream Rambouillet Worsted on sale at 20% off. Grab what you can while we have it...

Around the web:

• These days have some of us dreaming of buying property in Paris...
• Still have stockpiled toilet paper? Display it properly...
• Very intrigued by an Ikea furniture by back program...
• Hair ties that actually make cute bracelets?!?
• We could all use some zen garden patterns in our lives...
• Life has been stressful. Put your slow cooker to use and make supper easy...
• There is a new Matrix movie trailer out and it looks... wild...
• And finally, it's still summer and never too late to get your craft on...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Nicholas Cage. Portland. Truffles. Intrigued? Here's a podcast about the newly released movie...
• Oktoberfest season kicks off in Portland this weekend with the McMenamin's Kennedy School...
• There is an amazing new mural for locals to check out from Qatari calligrapher Fatima Al-Sharshani...
• And if that's not enough, start planning for the rest of September!
