Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• NEW YARN!!!! How new? So new, we are still working on getting it up on the website new! We loved Less Traveled's sport weight base so much we added two more bases to our stock! If you are solidly on the mohair train this season you are going to LOVE Baby Suri and if cashmere is your thing, Dreamliner is a must!
• We just can't seem to keep Malabrigo in stock and believe us, we are trying! This time we got in a bunch of Lace for Shifting Shadows kits along with some Rasta, Arroyo, and Sock... 
• Issue 31 of Pom Pom Quarterly is available for pre orders and the patterns look amazing!
• If you have been looking for something to wash all your delicates in as well as block your projects, we just got in a restock of Soak...
• A nice big box of Hazel Knits Artisan Sock yarn showed up as well.  
• Quince & Co.'s newest book was also released this week! If you like shawls, you definitely need to check out To The Point by Leila Raven...
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• For those with discerning tastes and plenty of discretionary dollars to spend, Oscar de la Renta has a Juice the Sheep Shearling bag just for you! 
• Also yarn-related, check out amazing fiber artist, Karen Jenkins, who recreated an entire bagel bar using knit and crochet!
• It's holiday movie time! If you are a fan of the genre we have you covered not only with a movie guide from the incomparable Linda Holmes but also a drinking game as a companion... 
• As we head into the holiday season and all the social obligations that go with it, we offer this article from NPR on How To Quiet Your Inner Critic...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• If you are in the market for a new guitar, the Portland Guitar Festival is this Sunday at the Rose Quarter.
• There is still time to take in Mumvember at the Chinese Garden...
• Are you in to gemstones? The 2019 Gem Faire Trade show is this weekend at the Convention Center!
