Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• Our Knit 12 Together Cast On Party happened on Monday! There is still plenty of time to start your own Two at a Time hat, by our lovely Twistedista Cheri. We are recommending Brooklyn Tweed Peerie but any fingering weight yarn will work- it's a great project for destashing leftovers! And if you were local and enjoyed this month's Chocolate Espresso Pie Bars, here's the recipe!
• Two nice big boxes of Malabrigo showed up this week as well! Not only are we gearing up to make more Shifting Shadows kits in new color combos out of all the Lace, but we also have a nice restock of Verano and Susurro along with a few other bases...
• Piecework magazine showed up this week celebrating all things made by hand... 
• Blue Moon Fiber Arts has been busy getting us yarn this week! We have some lovely new colors of La Luna DK, Crackpaca, Socks That Rock in Lightweight, Mediumweight and Heavyweight AND Plushy! A good weekend to stop by and not only squish all of the yarn but get some stellar color therapy...
• Melanie Berg's book "Colorwork Shawls- Knit In Color" also arrived and it is chock full of wonderful projects...
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• #fibergoals - Match your knitwear to your surroundings like all the cool people are doing...
• Another fiber goal but travel-related- did you know there was an urban shepherd in Paris???
• Old school technology has been keeping us safe without us even knowing it...
• Still trying to use up old Halloween candy? The internet has your back...
• Chocolate Bar Bars
• Candy Corn and White Chocolate Blondies
• Leftover Halloween Candy No-Bake Cheesecakes
• Loaded Candy Bar Popcorn

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• It's the Portland Metro Dealers Fall RV Show of Shows this weekend for the RV lover in all of us...
• Calling all bibliophiles, the Portland Book Festival is this weekend...
• If modern dance is your thing, White Bird Uncaged presents Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance Group "Power" both Friday and Saturday this weekend...

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