Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the shop:

• Did you miss out on our first shipment of stitch markers from the fabulous Native Knits? You are in luck! Not only did we get a restock but we added three new fabulous colors!
• In other restock goodness, our latest order from Katrinkles showed up, too! Such great tools so you don't have to waste precious brains space remembering things like the kitchner stitch...
• Did you catch our newsletter from Tuesday? We promise cotton is a great yarn for fall knitting, too! One of our favorites, Berroco Pima Cotton 100 is 20% off through midnight Sunday PST using the promo code PIMA20 at checkout...

Around the web:

• Oh man, as if we needed another reason to go to Stockholm, but now we want to just to see this machine at work at an H&M re-knitting a sweater!
• Fall is a great time to up your grilled cheese game...
• Embroidered photographs by Julie Cockburn - it's all in the name and it's all pretty amazing...
• One of our Twistedista's had a baby at the beginning of the pandemic. Shout out to the new parents out there and check in if you know one- it's rough for everyone....
• Ella Fitzgerald is always amazing and now they found lost tapes from Berlin!
• Feel the need to step up your work from home wardrobe? Queer Eye's Tan France has some suggestions...
• Have you taken the dialect quiz from the New York Times yet? It is scary accurate!

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Biketown, Portland's bike share program, is now all electric!
• The Roux Festival is back this weekend. It looks a little different thanks to the pandemic, but it is still a celebration of women, non-binary and trans people in food.
• Horror and Drive In Movie fans take note- the Slay horror short film festival is coming Halloween weekend and tickets will likely sell out.
• The Hollywood Theater is hosting the Portland Latin American Film Festival and happily, those not local can also enjoy...
• Pugtoberfest!

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