Farm Fresh Yarn Giveaway

by Susan on June 17, 2009

julie

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!

Sarah June 17, 2009 at 8:52 pm

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 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. :(

Rebekah June 18, 2009 at 1:46 pm

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. :-)

peggy June 18, 2009 at 4:33 pm

I just signed up on Twitter -hope it worked. What we won’t do for Susie and beautiful yarn.

janice urffer June 18, 2009 at 5:05 pm

that yarn is beeuuutiful. I would love to dream about what to make with that-perhaps a cool sweater for the winter.

Susan Knight June 18, 2009 at 5:06 pm

Hi! I’m an official follower of your Twitter!

turtle June 18, 2009 at 7:34 pm

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!

woolies June 18, 2009 at 9:05 pm

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)

Susan June 18, 2009 at 9:30 pm

Hey Woolies! When this started I only had a handful of followers. Well, 400 or so, but still….

Laurie June 19, 2009 at 12:58 am

I can’t believe I’m a twit! It’s all your fault, and the yarn’s.

Great idea and good luck! I’ve done my tweet for you!

Chris June 19, 2009 at 9:05 am

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!

Jane from Maryland June 19, 2009 at 9:21 am

Purple yarn is an addiction. I can’t stay away! I crocheted my first purple shawl during a protest in 1969 and haven’t looked back. Got the yarn at Woolworth’s.

mzundercover June 19, 2009 at 9:30 am

i’m all in!!! :-)
