Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• Twistedista Marissa has figured out how to make lovely itty bitty Mini Skein Earrings and we LOVE them! Check them out!
• NEW YARN ALERT - we have a wonderful heavy DK/light worsted weight Pima cotton from Malabrigo! Verano comes in some beautiful solids and of course, some of their signature kettle-dyed variegated colors. There is still plenty of summer left to knit something amazing...
• We are currently taking preorders for the next issue of both Laine, By Hand AND Pom Pom Quarterly magazines. We even have a special promotion going for Laine. Get 25% off Issue 8 when you preorder Issue 9 and both will ship together when it is available. It's a win/win!
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• In honor of back to school season, we give you this gem of a commercial from Staples for all the parents out there...
• For those looking to decorate a new apartment or dorm, here's a DIY, large scale braided wall hanging...
• Feeling ambitious? Wanna make something fabulous for someone? Here's some inspiration for you- some incredibly talented person crocheted a Monopoly board blanket for her daughter!
• In honor of the beautiful thunderstorms of summer, we give you this time-lapse of two seasons of supercell storms...
• It's harvest time! Being overrun by zucchini? Smitten Kitchen is here to help.

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• It's Hood To Coast this weekend! Watch out for runners and walkers everywhere and good luck to those participating!
• Prefer a walk with a purpose? The 2019 Walk To End Alzheimer's is this weekend as well...
• And for EVERYONE, it is the National Park Service's Birthday on Sunday, August 25th. That means free park entrance for all!

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