contents In this paper we give a diagrammatic description of the categories of modules coming from the conformal embeddings $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{sl}_N,N) \subset \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{so}_{N^2-1},1)$. A small variant on this construction (morally corresponding to a conformal embedding of $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ level $N$ into $\mathfrak{o}_{N^2-1}$ level $1$) has uniform generators and relations which are rational functions in $q = e^{2 πi/4N}$, which allows us to construct a new continuous family of tensor categories at non-integer level which interpolate between these categories. This is the second example of such an interpolation category for families of conformal embeddings after Zhengwei Liu's interpolation categories $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{sl}_N, N\pm 2) \subset \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{sl}_{N(N\pm 1)/2},1)$ which he constructed using his classification Yang-Baxter planar algebras. Our approach is different from Liu's, we build a two-color skein theory, with one strand coming from $X$ the image of defining representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_N$ and the other strand coming from an invertible object $g$ in the category of local modules, and a trivalent vertex coming from a map $X \otimes X^* \rightarrow g$. We anticipate small variations on our approach will yield interpolation categories for every infinite discrete family of conformal embeddings.
