Description:

Special thanks to all of my listeners for waiting so long between episodes. As I posted on Instagram, I have been having a lot of vocal problems and I have been trying to rest my voice as much as possible outside of my job, where it's impossible to rest my voice at all. I'm going to do my best to keep up a regular schedule.

 

Program Mentions:

Thanks to Knitting Daddy for sending me his Smoke in the City hat pattern.

Special thanks to Vivian and Alyson from Keep Calm and Carry Yarn and the Pearl and Plum Etsy shop.

Also thanks to the ladies from Tin Can Knits for sending me their Beloved hat pattern.

Knitting News, Notes and Events

#MadAboutMinis

Sorry guys, I really dropped the ball on this KAL. Should we keep it going for a while? Call it? 

 

 

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.

 

The PalKal is coming up this summer! Are you interested in sponsoring the biggest and best Kal for the Actually Knitting Podcast? Here is where you can find information about levels of Sponsorship.

 

Fill out this Google Form and I'll get in touch with you about sponsoring the KAL. The PalKal runs from June 1-September 1, 2017 and it is all about supporting podcasters who are designers, indie dyers, bag makers, etc.
