Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• Merry Malabrigo to all! Let's start with the best part, NEW YARN!!!! Yup, a totally new base from Malabrigo called Caprino that is the most lovely, squishy and soft merino/cashmere blend you can imagine. We are still working on getting pictures up on our website but it all comes in the colors you know and love from Malabrigo!
• Rasta, Rios, and Mecha were also included in our big shipment from Malabrigo. Strike while the iron is hot because we can't seem to keep these in stock this time of year...
• We were also lucky enough to get a batch of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Lightweight! So many colors we had a hard time getting it all on the wall BUT WE DID.
• Some more Hazel Knits came in this week, too. All three bases, Lively DK, Artisan Sock and MCN Entice all showed up in varying quantities...
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• We are getting to the end of the year and that means lots of people are looking back on 2019. From the BBC comes a look at some of the most striking images from the year...
• Still got relatives at your house? Just like bacon? The Kitchn has looked into 8 ways to cook bacon and found a winner...
• We are officially into Winter! Not a fan? Here is someone's secret to enjoying it...
• Have you been brave enough to watch Cats yet? NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour has a highly entertaining podcast devoted to the movie...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Still in the mood to shop? The PDX Pop Up Shops are still going strong...
• Need some art in your life? The Portland Art Museum still has it's 5 after 5 promotion running where you can get into the museum for 5 bucks after 5 pm...
• If you are a fan of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver is in town this weekend...

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