Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the shop:

• Have you the wonderful book 52 Weeks Of Socks from Laine? We have a hard time keeping this one is stock so if you have been on the fence, strike while the iron is hot!
• We had a delightful delivery from Blue Moon Fiber Arts, too! This time it's a restock of Featherlight and La Luna DK just in time for fall shawl knitting...
• Do you dream of cashmere? You are in luck! We just got in a few new colors of Jojoland's Consonance- half silk, half cashmere and all soft!

Around the web:

• This Twitter thread about a brother-in-law and a rice lorry in India delighted Twistedista Dawn for days. If you need a story that isn't your life, look no further....
• Wine windows. They are only a thing if Florence, Italy and Tuscany but they should be a thing everywhere!
• Phone calls. For smart phones having taken over the world, it is fascinating how much the younger generations don't like to use their phones for making actual calls...
• Ah, the Ikea Catalog. If you love to flip through for inspiration you are in luck- now you can browse through 72 years worth of catalogs...
• Still dealing with a backlog of zucchini? Here's a creamy lemon-zucchini pasts to try...
• Has the pandemic been hard on your stuff? Apparently there is a way to fix some plastic things with a combination of super glue and baking soda...
• We still have a few weeks of official summer left! It's never too late to take a road trip and here are a few of the most epic ones found in American literature...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Still looking for ways to locally help those affected by the pandemic? Check out the Equitable Giving project...
• It's that time of year again- the vaux swifts are starting their nightly gathering at Chapman Elementary. If you can't make it in person, mark you calendars because the Audubon Society is live streaming it on September 15th...
• Looking for PPE and want to shop local? You are in luck! Protectly is here to help...
