Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• Pre orders are live for magazines coming out soon: Laine 8, Making 7, Pom Pom 29, and Amirisu 18.
• Knitted Wit! NEW YARN ALERT! We just received a glorious batch of not only Knitted Wit's Bulky yarn, but also Double Bubbles, her DK weight mini skeins. And as if that wasn't enough, we have new colors in her other bases that we carry - Victory Sock, Fairy Floss, Superwash Worsted, and Victory DK! These are so new we are still working on photos to get it all up on our website so if you are lucky enough to be local, stop in and see! 
• CoBaSi! If you are looking for a good fingering weight, summer project yarn, CoBaSi is definitely worth checking out. The name says it all (once you know)... it's a blend of COtton, BAmboo, and SIlk. (Plus a little elastic for bounce.) And we have it both fingering and DK weights!
• Looking for a slightly different fiber hobby now that the weather is turning warmer? Have you ever thought about needle felting? We just got in some sparkle fiber, as well as needle felted Unicorn and Cactus kits. They're just waiting to be taken home for the perfect project!
• Twine. Bulky. is fully in stock at the moment if you just can't give up the satisfaction of knitting things quickly with chunky yarn...
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• Love to take online tests? Here's a good one that determines what creative type you are...
• Ah, the Swedes. Even their homes are museum-worthy...
• Cinco De Mayo! Whether you are hosting a party, bringing something to a party or enjoying a solo celebration, here are some helpful links for all!
• First, a little background from the Smithsonian and what is truly traditional food...
• Next, a salsa recipe from My Latina Table...
• Recipes that AREN'T tacos...
• Margaritas!
• And finally, a pinata cake.

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• CRAFTY WONDERLAND!!! A favorite among the Twistedistas, if you have never been to this homage to all things handmade, now is definitely the time. And for those local, even if your calendar is full on Saturday, they have two storefront shops you can visit anytime!

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