So I feel like I need to clarify. Apparently there's confusion on what steps need to be taken to enter the giveaway. There are mandatory steps and optional ones. The mandatory ones are the ones in bold that appear first and say, "Do these first ones to unlock the rest." Once you've done the mandatory ones (all Facebook-based), it opens the optional ones (these include twitter, pinterest, etc.). Since my giveaway is being announced on Facebook, I figured everyone will be able to enter through the mandatory steps. The optional steps are simply bonus; they put your name in the drawing even more. So please don't be upset or feel like you're being left out if you can't complete the optional steps. Everyone is able to enter through Facebook. :)

Winner of Day 1: Abigail Burnham. Email me at twystedyarn@yahoo.com within 24 hours to claim your prize. (Prize will be forfeited if I don't hear from you in that time frame).
I love finding and supporting local talent. In fact, I intentionally seek out local photographers to work with and try to shop with local "handmade" vendors whenever possible. Well, you can't get more local than this next girl. Jessica lives in my neighborhood and became a stay-at-home mom at about the same time I did. In fact, our husbands were working together and carpooling at the time. So I'm excited to highlight her business, Cards by Jessica. She's kindly donating a $15 gift certificate to her shop.
Along with these cards, I will be giving away a set of three Baby Soft headbands (size newborn), a Rose Cluster Beanie (size 2T-4T), and a Cranberry Lauren Headwrap with an Ivory Rose (size teen/women) because we have to have roses on Valentine's Day. The winner of this prize will be announced on tomorrow's post and will have 24 hours to claim his/her prize. Read below for info on how to enter.

5000 Fans Giveaway--LONG Overdue
Thanks so much for your patience while I was on maternity leave. I know you were dying for me to start this giveaway. And I promised it would be huge.
And so it is.
Not only do I have over 15 Twysted Yarn and Newbie Noggins (my baby line) items in this giveaway, but I've paired numerous vendors who are generously giving away FABULOUS items from their shops including items like
ties for little men, toddler apron and chef hat set, boutique headbands,
notecards, gift cards, bracelets, couture clothing, and more!
To spread the love and reduce the amount of pages you'll have to visit daily, I've broken up this HUGE giveaway into mini daily giveaways. Each day, I'll pair one or two of my own items with one or two other vendors' items. I'll try to create a consistent theme for the day so that you're able to find items you truly love and have a better chance at winning those particular items.
Which also means, there will be lots of winners throughout the giveaway. Lets be honest. Who likes a giveaway where only ONE winner comes away with it ALL? It's so much more fun to think
there's a chance for MANY to win SOMETHING!!
Be sure to visit daily for your chance to win!! Tomorrow's giveaway will start at 8:00 A.M. EST.
See ya' then!
See ya' then!
The New and Improved Twysted Yarn
Many of you have been with me since Day 1 of Twysted Yarn. You were my first Facebook fans (now "likers"), you shopped with me before the inception of my Etsy shop, you were around when I launched my site (currently under construction), and you saw the birth of Newbie Noggins. And through all the changes and growth, I neglected my blog and lost a bit of my business identity. That was, until my dear friend Michelle from The Momma Bird inspired me to make some changes and overhauled my blog, Etsy banner, and is currently working on my new site.
I'm beyond thrilled to introduce you to the new and improved Twysted Yarn, photography props and accessories handcrafted with <3. Now that I'm not ashamed by my blog but rather in love with it, I hope to use it to drive my business, hosting giveaways, spotlighting other vendors and guest bloggers, and featuring free tips and patterns for fellow hookers. (Speaking of giveaways, be sure to check back on Monday for my HUGE 5000 Fans Giveaway!)
Keep in mind that my blog just went live today, so you're looking at a skeleton of what it will become. I'd love to hear your feedback. What do you think of the new look? What would you like to see on my blog? What patterns? What crochet tips? Giveaways? And please, check in with Michelle at The Momma Bird if you're in need of your own design inspiration or help. She's fabulous to work with, and be sure to tell her I sent ya!
