Actually Knitting Episode 88: PalKal2018 Begins

  Knitting Segments   Knits in Rehearsal   Mezzo Cardigan by Alexis Winslow   Knitting News, Notes and Events PalKal 2018 Basic Rules   Official cast on/bind off dates: June 15-August 15 One part of your project must be from a podcaster. The podcaster has to have produced an episode within the last year, so no retired podcasts, sorry. No yardage requirement. Your finished object can be entered more than once if more than one element is from a podcaster. You cannot reuse a project bag for multiple entries. The same applies for patterns, stitch markers, etc. Entries must be put into the finished object threads. Each element of the project that qualifies gets it's own entry. When you post an FO, please tell us what element qualifies for the PALKAL and which podcast you are supporting. Feel free to ask me questions on the Ravelry group forum for PALKAL Chatter. Check out all of the information and links to our sponsors in the Ravelry group!    For all PalKal related discounts, the code is the same: Palkal2018      Top Billing Sponsors:     Janis Ficker, Carolina Fiber Girls  CC and Dami Almon/JavaPurl Designs, Geeky Girls  Suzanne, Two Tangled Skeins  Knitting Daddy Greg, Unraveling Podcast  Sarah Schira, Imagined Landscapes  Jennifer Lassonde, Down Cellar Studio  Monique Leonard/Windswept Designs, Knitting on the Run  Vivian and Alysin/Pearl and Plum, Keep Calm and Carry Yarn  Kristi, In a Sknit Podcast Cameo Sponsors Susie White/Prairie Girls Designs/Prairie Girls Knit and Spin Melinda, Yarnderwoman Podcast   Producing Sponsors:  Bijou Basin Ranch  Queen City Yarn  Never Not Knitting  Daizie Knits  Love Knitting   This episode of Actually Knitting is brought to you by Bijou Basin Ranch.         Bijou Basin Ranch is a family-owned ranch in western Colorado.
