So Close to 1,000!!!!!
Posted by: Tamara in dyeing, etsy, spinning, tags: 1000, contest, milestoneI think there is some sort of significant here – a MILESTONE that should be noted – in reaching 1,000 sales. On this day, February 5, 2010, my Etsy shop tells me that I have 990 sales. Ten more and that is 1,000!!!!
What is the best way to mark a MILESTONE such as this in this virtual landscape of blogs and online shops? Yes, it is with a CONTEST!!! A contest with a prize that sends actual fiber into your hands!
Here is the prize, a 4 ounce roving* of Lagoon in 60% superwash merino/ 30% bamboo (from Rayon)/ 10% nylon:
So, I need to tell you the rules, right?
Let’s see:
Post a comment on this post to be eligible to win.
Contest will run until the number of sales in my Etsy shop reaches 1,000.
I will then randomly draw a winner from the entries.
That’s it! I have no idea how long this will run so it will be interesting! And just one thing I want to note about the way Etsy marks sales; if someone buys more the one of the same item – that is only marked as one sale. I’m not sure why, but that is the way they do it.
Oh yeah, and I should tell you, I’m sure there will some extra treats sent out in the package to the person of the 1,000 MILESTONE sale!
(* if you are a knitter and not a spinner – please do enter anyway – we can *talk* later if your name is drawn.)

How exciting! I can completely see why you have so many sales, though – your stuff is lovely. Congrats!

Congrats on the upcoming sale

Congratulations! May there be thousands more….
Congratulations!!! I have enjoyed your Etsy shop so much, this is really exciting! Beautiful prizie roving too.
That is quite an accomplishment. Congrats to you. I have to tell you that I started to read your blog some years ago and it got back into my knitting. Now I can’t stop. You gave me the courage to make a pair of socks and now I have made many more. I am just a knitter not a spinner I am also your cousin. Take care and love to all. Nancy
Congrats! I got some of your merino/tencel awhile back and it’s an absolute pleasuer to spin. Here’s to many more sales!
No surprise here. Your yarn rocks! The stuff I got from you is absolutely the best in my stash. I had to double-bag your Lupine because I was stroking it so much. Just found a marvelous shawl pattern to finally use it on, and this will be my Olympics knit challenge. Best wishes to you always!
Hi Tamara.. wow.. congrats on so many sales in your Etsy shop! I’m still working on package #2 of the Grape Goddess merino/tencel I picked up at the Brattleboro Fiber market in November, and got to demo with it the other night at the River Spinners’ guild meeting. http://www.riverspinners.com
It’s just such lovely stuff! Looks especially good navajo-plied.
cheers,
Sadelle
Congratulations!
