My BFF Julie is one of the greatest people I know. She is brilliant. She is funny. She has two of the most beautiful children the world has ever know. Julie has a very successful copywriting business and she is the best at what she does. (Seriously, if you ever need a copywriter, she’s the one you want.)
Julie is probably the very best BFF a girl could have. She only has one tiny, itty-bitty, hardly- worth-mentioning flaw. She is just the slightest bit competitive.
Which makes the fact that she has, a last count, approximately eleventy billion Twitter follows to my paltry 440 quite vexing. To be fair, I haven’t put much effort into gaining followers. I try really hard only to tweet when I have something interesting to say; when a baby is being born on the farm or like that. I have been somewhat complacent about it. But not anymore! I’m going to increase my twitter following or die trying!
See this lovely yarn?
This yummy, purpley, gorgeous yarn?
This skein of yarn, along with 12 of it’s matching, 220-yard friends, can be yours. That’s 2860 yards of yarn, y’all.
All you have to do is:
1. Follow me on twitter. If you’re already a follower, advance to step 2.
2. Tweet about this giveaway with this tiny linky: http://bit.ly/yobdz
That’s it. Simple, right? When we reach 1500 followers one will be chosen at random to win all this beautiful yarn. The faster we get there the sooner we’ll pick a winner.
Good luck everybody and thanks!

Okay, I have thus far resisted the twitter call, but I’m in!
I’m already following you, but a retweet is on it’s way out! =)
I added you and I posted on the Ravelry Contestants Enter Here group: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/contestants—enter-here
Is there a #MVFF topic? Or something like that that we can twitter about for when we mention the farm?
done and done! That’s gorgeous stuff. I’m amesville on twitter.
Done, though my tweets are protected. Can I still enter?
Also, I made a tinier-url for this if other twitterers want to use it: http://tinyurl.com/yarngiveaway
I follow you and am retweeting now. Thank you – this is beautiful!!
Locked twitter accounts ARE eligible to enter, so tweet away!
I started to follow you on Twitter and made a tweet!
You had to pick a picture of my wearing overalls, didn’t you. Is that because you want everyone to think that I’m a farmer too???
Oh…and everybody – you should probably follow me on Twitter too (I’m @writingroads) – I mean, we would want Susan to catch up to me or, gasp!, beat me on Twitter…now would we?

one of the many things i like about following u on twitter is that when u tweet it is something worth tweeting about! i have had to remove gregarious tweeters, just too much work to keep up with them!! LOL
good luck on your “tweet gathering”!
deb :>
How have I missed being a follower already? I’m in now.
But I need to correct one thing in your blog – should it be : I’m going to increase my twitter following or trying!
I have no idea if I did it right!
beautiful yummies…you are most generous!
This is the first Twitter giveaway I’ve entered. Happy to follow you anyway and retweet.
Well, I don’t tweet. It’s my lone social-networking holdout. BUT I think I will follw your blog, and if I ever do break down and get a Twitter account, you’ll be the first on my list!
Good luck with the contest!
Really computer stupid: I just recently tried to BLOG for the first time and realy messd my first blog up and I am just curious; Wha is twitter?

) I’m now a twitter follower.
I’m jrmint06 on Twitter, and I already follow you. But I’m going to post the link right now!!! Hope I win all that yarn. I know EXACTLY where it will go!!!
Right, because it’s not like Julie’s at all competitive in the social media arena … (grin)
I am now a follower… I re-tweeted and I am feeling lucky!!! Love that purple!
Now I’m following – wasn’t sure what I was doing at first!
I tweeted about your giveaway – Ug_Pugly on twitter.
not sure if I did the twitter thing correctly – I’m new to this game
have no idea if I did this right – first time tweeter!
not a tweeter–twitterer? but a 1st time gramma-to-be so must. knit. lots. Love the purples. where can I find this yummy stuff?
I following you now! I wish I would have known about your twitter earlier.
I thinking that yummy yarn would make beautiful mom and daughter sweaters. 
What an awesome thing to do! Whoot!

I’m following you on Twitter, and posted the Tweet here: http://twitter.com/AsTheNight/status/2215920694
Um… so we can only enter this giveaway if we’re signed up for Twitter? Sigh… I’m just not into having ANOTHER thing I’m responsible to update. I actually follow both your blog and your twitter updates via RSS feed, through Google Reader (which is awesome) — so technically I do follow your tweets. I guess I’m still not eligible to win? Good luck to everyone else!
I’m a new twit twittering away, tweet tweet tweet!

ZOMG! That is so totally my color! Beautiful yarn and fabulous giveaway. I’ve followed you and tweeted under my name “melistress”.
I can barely keep up with all the blogs and boards I visit, I don’t have time for twitter, and I’m always a little disappointed when the only way be entered in a give is use twitter. It hurts my feeling a bit, truthfully.
I have tweeted & put a call to help on Ravelry!
I’m in and twittering! Loooove the yarn!
I followed! And tweeted! And retweeted!
I was already a follower so I tweeted!

Gorgeous, gorgeous yarn!!!
Well, I actually joined twitter just for a chance at the yummy yarn, this is a significant step. I have been anti-tweeting until now.
I just signed up on Twitter -hope it worked. What we won’t do for Susie and beautiful yarn.
that yarn is beeuuutiful. I would love to dream about what to make with that-perhaps a cool sweater for the winter.
Hi! I’m an official follower of your Twitter!
sadly i cannot join this one i guess. Hubby and friends and i have discussed the whole twitter bit and just won’t do it, i know so many people enjoy it but we just do not “get it”. Like i need something else to keep up with, lol. good luck on meeting your goal!
You only have a paltry 800 some followers. So Sad.
I’m off to twitter about you now, and have added my woolies to your followers.
:0)
Hey Woolies! When this started I only had a handful of followers. Well, 400 or so, but still….
I can’t believe I’m a twit! It’s all your fault, and the yarn’s.
and I’m off to tweet you up!
I re-tweeted! Best of luck to you, and I hope I win!!
Great idea and good luck! I’ve done my tweet for you!
I must be a sheep cause I’m now following the flock on twitter. I do not need yarn. I produce yarn. But who can resist a contest like this?? Have fun with it!
