Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the shop:

• Knitted Wit arrived this week! It has been a while since we have gotten an order from them and oh how we have missed their beautiful colors. This time it was mostly Victory Sock and Smarties but we also got in some wonderful Victory DK and a handful of Worsted...
• By Hand: London has just been released and we all here agree, good stuff in this one!
• Have you been keeping an eye out for the store supplies and samples that are getting added to the web store? Some really great stuff gets added little by little so definitely keep checking back...

Around the web:

• There are some insanely clever and talented artists out there and this kind of street art is just what we are craving during the quarantine...
• Language is FASCINATING. We all know that it is an ever-evolving thing but apparently it changes faster in stressful times. Are you up on your COVID-19 slang?
• This is a two-fer, not only is the cake recipe fantastic but it talks about a wonderful digital-only cookbook with recipes from famous food people and 100% of the proceeds go to helping restaurant workers affected by the covid crisis.
• Prince fans take note! For only this weekend only, a Prince and the Revolution live performance from 1985 will be available on YouTube!
• Need a break from sewing masks? Here are some simple tops to try...
• If you love to travel and are out of things to watch, here are some suggestions on global shows and movies to help lose yourself in the world again...
• And finally, if you feel like you are floundering with social distancing, here are some tips from someone who has 50 years of social distancing experience...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Can you believe it has been 40 years since Mt St Helens erupted? Join Bill Nye the Science Guy on May 16th for "Mt St Helens Goes Boom!"
• Parks and trails are slowly starting to open up in Oregon but if you are still leary about going out, take a virtual hike on the Pacific Coast Trail instead...
• Looking for something a little different for takeout? Try Kargi Gogo!

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