Last month, I reached a milestone; I made my 1000th sale from my Etsy shop. And it only took me three years to do it!
To celebrate, I am having a contest. I will be giving away a box full of goodies to one winner.
There are eight different printed patterns. I don't have very many of my patterns in printed form, since I sell most of my patterns as pdf's. These are some from my wholesale orders.
And since you can never have too many hooks, I am also giving away a set of yarn hooks, a set of steel thread hooks, and a gauge measuring thingy.
The yarn hooks also come with a nifty little pair of folding scissors.
And this package contains the one hook I cannot live without; a size 7 steel Boye hook. I plan to be buried with one. Seriously.
And honestly, I am not really sure how you use this contraption, but it looks impressive. I am sure more knowledgeable crocheters know what to do with it.
And of course, there is thread! I will give the winner 10 balls of thread in some of my favorite colors. Some are new, and some are from my stash.
Uh oh! |
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of a tower of thread on a windy day?
Here they are, all boxed up and ready to go.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/bellacrochet
I will select the winner at random and mail out the box next Friday, February 10th, 2012.
To enter, just leave me a comment, and be sure I have a way of contacting you, so I can get your mailing address if you win.
Thanks to everyone for helping me make 1000 sales, and good luck!
This contest is now closed; thanks to everyone who entered!
