Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• New Hazel Knits colors!!! We are refreshing the color palette we currently carry for Hazel Knits and the Artisan Sock colors are the first to the store...
• We also got in a much-anticipated order of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Super Sparkle and Silky Victoria this week. Super Sparkle is perfect for all of your sock knitting needs and the Silky Victoria is perfect for all your fall sweaters! 
• It was a banner week for restocking the store - we also got in a huge shipment from Knitted Wit! If you have been on the hunt for any of her wonderful colors in Worsted, Victory DK, Victory Sock, Smarties Mini Skeins, come in and take a look...
• Knit 12 Together Cast On Party was Monday! It's not too late to knit your own coffee cup cozy or start knitting many as the perfect stocking stuffer. As for the recipe for the month's treat, Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies for all!
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• So much interesting and random stuff on the web! First up, in honor of school picture season, an ode to the weird sway those little pictures hold over us for a lifetime...
• On to something knitting related! This woman is using her knitting to make a statement about voices and representation in meetings...
• Fulfilling both a travel urge AND a fiber need, we give you Li Ziqi and her YouTube channel of countryside life in China...
• Ever wonder just what it's like to curate the libraries found in restaurants? Wonder no more...
• And finally, for the math geeks out there, how movie recommendation engines use geometry and your neighbors to predict your choices...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• The German American Society Oktoberfest is this weekend! Not just great beer but also music, wurst and strudel! To get you in the mood we offer this great delightful version of Sweet Child of Mine from Heimatdamisch...

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