Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• Brooklyn Tweed's new yarn, Ranch 02 is here! 10 gorgeous colors of worsted weight, 100% Rambouillet wool just waiting for your next project. If you are passionate about ethically raised, American manufactured and naturally dyed yarn, this is exactly what you have been looking for! But don't wait, it's a small-batch yarn and when it's gone, it's gone...
• If you love cashmere (and who doesn't), we just got in a restock of Hazel Knits' wonderful Entice MCN yarn. Wonderful to work with and even more wonderful to wear, grab it before it's gone again...
• Also showing up for restocking was Malabrigo and Berroco. If you are in the mood to make something chunky and quick, a whole lot of Macro in some new colors was a part of the order and is patiently waiting on the shelves...
• Making No 8: Forest is out today looks as lovely as the rest of their publications...
• On the same lines and out the 19th, there is the latest issue of Amirisu and Bristol Ivy's book Drape and Fold which has been so popular we had to order more that we hope to come in today!
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• Halloween is just around the corner and in honor of all hallowed things, we give you the wonderful soul that put their beloved spritz cookie recipe on their gravestone for all to enjoy!
• Want something a little spookier? There is a man in Britain that photographs his nightmares...
• For those that are interested in Salem Witch lore, here's a look at a Salem Village parsonage...
• Costumes! Still looking?
• Martha Stewart has you covered for kids...
• Oprah has some great couples costumes ideas...
• And Women's Day has easy, last-minute ideas for the procrastinator in all of us...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Every single Twistedista is in love with our new neighbor with a fabulous name. Twisted Croissant has recently opened up just down the street from us and we can't spread the word fast enough just how wonderful they are!
• Looking for some old school computer gaming action? It's the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and your chance to play Tetris till you can't see straight anymore...
• You know you have always wanted to see people race each other in giant pumpkins... The West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta is your chance!

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