Round Two - Pimp the Swap Contest

The purpose of the contest is to spread the word about the UK Swap and generate interest on the Swap Blog. Anyone (living anywhere) can promote the swap and participate in (and win) the contest. However, only those living in the UK will be able to join the swap.

Pimp the Swap on your blog or website. Post a message and a button telling everyone that we’re doing a UK based Knitter’s Swap from June - September. Tell them Sign-ups begin on May 19th, 2008 and close on June 2nd.


Ways you will be entered in the draw for a fabulous yarny prize:

1. Posting a message on your blog (make sure to leave a comment here telling us you did so!)
2. Having other people comment here that they found out about the Swap from your blog/website. (One extra entry for every person that says you sent them).
3. Note: Hosts will not be entered into the contest, but don’t let that deter you from telling us where you found out about the swap!

The Prize?
One skein of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Lightweight in colourway January One.

Now, go forth my yarny-friends and PIMP THE SWAP!

P.S. Contest begins today (Wednesday 14th May) and ends Monday 2nd June at midnight! (When sign ups close). The winner of the Pimp the Swap contest will be announced before matches go out in the second week of June.

We Have a Winner!

Congratulations Knit-Knacker on winning the Pimp the Swap contest!!! Please email me (monnibo AT hotmail DOT com) your mailing address and I'll send off your prize as soon as I can!

Is the suspense killing you yet?

I'm back in London and tallying up the entries in the Pimp the Swap Contest. I haven't drawn the winner yet, so I thought we should tease you with a bit of yarn pr0n. This is the prize from Posh Yarn - it is the "Laura" colourway.

There will also be a couple goodies added by me into the package for the winner! Who could it be!?!

Pimp the Swap Contest Closed

Wow! That was an amazing rush of people in the last day. Great to see people telling their friends. Just because the contest is over, don't let that deter you from telling even more people! Grab a button from the sidebar and post it on your blog. I'd love to hear if you'd put it up so post a quick comment if you can. Love to see everyone spreading the word.

The winner will be announced later this week (when I get time! Wow these holidays are so full!).

In the meantime, I'll be posting up the Questionnaire later today, so check it out. If you're planning to participate in the UK Swap and want to get a head start on your Questionnaire, please feel free to post it to your blog. Although blogs are not required, they are STRONGLY recommended because of the ease it adds to getting to know your partner. Because some people requested that blogs not be required, an anonymous email IS required, so please make sure to create an email that doesn't give away your identity.
