Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• Quince & Co. arrived this week including a whole lot of Kestrel, Sparrow, and Whimbrel! Need a late summer knitting project and looking to use linen or cotton, come on in and take a look...
• We just finished processing a massive Berroco order! If you have been missing blanket quantities of some of their bases, take another look...
• New sample alert!!! If you like to see what the yarn in the store knits up like, here are some new things to ogle...
• Deschain in Quince & Co. Kestrel- This is a CLASSIC knit that is perennially popular. Bonus, we just got in a new order of Kestrel...
• Headwarmers Hat in Fully Spun Aran- Not just a floor sample, but also an upcoming class sample!
• Main Street Cozy in Double Bubble DK Minis from Knitted Wit- It's our September Knit 12 Together project!
• And finally, a fantastic stash buster for worsted weight yarn, the Hot Cuppa Coaster which is also an upcoming class sample as well...
• Ever wanted to try weaving but not sure where to begin? We just refreshed our set of pop-out loom kits from Black Sheep Goods that are not only great to learn for yourself, but make excellent gifts!
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• Every knitter knows this already, but now there is a study backing up the fact that knitting is beneficial to your mental health...
• Did you catch the Persied Meteor Shower this week? In its honor, we give you these beautiful maps of the solar system...
• If you love both cakes AND classical art, here is a treat for you!
• An interesting discussion of the idea that plants don't die from cancer...
• And because it is still grilling season and that last article packed a punch, here's a grillable veggie burger recipe vetted by Bon Appetit...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• The Adult Soap Box Derby is Saturday! Definitely not an event for the faint of heart but totally something you should go witness at least once...
• Drive-In Movies! At the Expo Center!
• Have you seen the Rose City Rollers yet? You should!

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