Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• We got the best delivery EVER this week when our wonderful Twistedista Fiona gave birth to her baby girl, Luna! Congratulations to the whole family and we can't wait to meet the newest member of the team in person!
• Black Cat in the house! We just got in a restock of both the Essential DK AND Etain! We also received our special yarn crawl colors so keep an eye out on our social media for a sneak peek at the colors...
• Need something lighthearted and irreverent in your life? We just restocked our selection of fabulous Blue Q bags and there are some absolute winners in there!
• We are solidly in the stocking up for the Yarn Crawl stage and for those who love Blue Moon, we have your Socks That Rock Lightweight and Super Sparkle!
• Got a sweater showing a little wear? You are in luck because we just got in our latest order of Gleeners! If you have been on the fence, don't wait too long because these tend to sell out...
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes...

Around the web:

• Let's start with some service journalism while we are not only in flu season but the age of the coronavirus. Here's an article outlining the most often missed parts of your hands when you wash them...
• Speaking of the coronavirus, have you seen the pictures from Shanghai of the empty streets thanks to the quarantine?
• We'd like to see the unconventional material challenge from Project Runway come up with such wonderful designs using the lowly rubber band...
• Take a trip into Uncanny Valley and check out this clip from Back To The Future with Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr as the title roles...
• And finally, for an uplifting moment, we turn to a park bench where everyone joins in to sing Bon Jovi...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• The Portland Home and Garden Show is this weekend!
• Looking for cars or trucks instead? The Portland International Auto Show is the place to be this weekend...
• Music more your thing? The PDX Jazz Festival continues the month of February...

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