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!

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!
