Plied Knowledge: The week that was…
At the warehouse:
- It has been busy, busy, busy at the warehouse as we stock up for all the winter projects! First up was box upon box of perennial favorite, Malabrigo! Not only did we stock up on everything we could like Rios, THERE'S A NEW BASE! Dos Tierras is a delicious mix of baby alpaca and merino all in Malabrigo's amazing kettle dyed colors...
- We also got our restock of Organic DK and Merino Sock Sets from Akara Yarns. If you missed out on some of their more popular colors, now is the time!
- As if all that wasn't amazing enough, we also scored a box from Hazel Knits! If you were eyeing this month's K12Tog Knitalong but didn't see the colors you liked for either Entice MCN or Artisan Sock, look again. And if Lively DK is more your thing, there are definitely sweater and blanket quantities to be found...
- Every hat can be enhanced with a faux fur pom pom- this is a universally known truth. Happily we are now fully stocked on them from Capella Luna, so pom poms for everyone!








Around the web:
- It's that time of year again- Oprah's Favorite Things!
- It's also that time where Thanksgiving sneaks up on most of us. Here's what we found to help!
- Showstopping turkeys...
- Not a turkey fan? You are not alone and there are alternatives...
- Small group this year? Here are some menu ideas...
- Making stuff ahead of time is always a life saver...
- Set your table like a pro with fancy napkins...
- Don't forget the centerpiece...
- And we even found a yarn craft for decorating- a pumpkin garland for the win!
- Hallmark Holiday movie fans rejoice- THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT!
- Some times you just need something amazing to look at and to that end we give you birds in flight...
And totally, completely, unapologetically local:
- 50 years ago Oregon blew up a whale on the coast. Really! AND, there is film to prove it...
- Not up for cooking this year? We are guessing it pays to plan ahead so here's a list for delivery, take out or possibly dining in for Thanksgiving in town this year...
- Not brave enough to shop at Powell's yet? You are in luck! They are now selling the fragrance of the shop itself to all...
- Still have the need for masks? Looking to buy local? Twistedista Dawn can recommend Stark's masks as a great choice- especially for glasses wearers!
