This episode is brought to you by Queen City Yarn.
Queen City Yarn is the result of a collaboration between friends Christen and Janis, brought together in the Queen City of Charlotte by their love for knitting and yarn. They've nurtured their passion for putting color to skein and now they want to share that passion with you!
Their products start with one of six great yarn bases, each named for a neighborhood in the Queen City that reflects their personality. The colors they apply are inspired by the beautiful things they see around them as well as breathtaking places they have visited. While each color they produce can stand on its own, they pay special attention to creating a series of complementary colors. They strive to make it easy to pick one or more great colors for your next project.
Queen City Yarn is providing a 35$ gift certificate to one lucky PalKal participant and use the PalKal2018 coupon code for 10% off your order in their Etsy Shop.
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!
Be sure to listen to see if you are the lucky winner of a 5 pack of Eucalan! This was an intermission giveaway, which means all you have to do to be eligible is chat in chatter thread on Ravelry!
For all PalKal related discounts, the code is the same: Palkal2018
