Thank you all for your kind words and orders during our sale week. I'm glad you like the new colorways! We're going to be adding a new sock yarn to our lineup in the coming weeks as well. Our Sock Yarnista club members were the first to try it, and we just can't keep our hands off of it. It's called Beckon Sock, and it's insanely stretchy and soft.
Just to stave off the inevitable questions, the colorway below is called Arctic Circle, and it's available to club members only. When you join one of our clubs, you also get to order any of our previous club colorways on any yarn base you like, even if you weren't a member of the club when it was released. The club colorways are exclusive to club members.
Here's a little picture:
In fact, I'm certain that the criminals responsible for the massive quantities of spam messages received here are just trying to keep Beckon out of the hands of gentle knitters like you. They want more for themselves. And whatnot.
It could happen. It's unlikely that there's some kind of vast worldwide conspiracy, but it's possible. It's possible men landed on the moon, and it's possible there's a yarn conspiracy. That's all I'm saying. Work with me here.
Back to the sale. I promised someone would win a $25 gift code just for placing an order, and someone did! I won't give identifying details because perhaps -- just perhaps -- this person doesn't want her shopping and ordering habits dissected on a blog, but I will say that her first name is Maria, and that she's been notified of her prize.
If your name is not Maria and you have not received a congratulatory email from us, you are NOT the winner.
Just to clarify: three things had to happen for you to be the winner. You had to place an order during our sale week. (Maria.) You had to have your name randomly drawn from all the order placers. (Maria.) And then you had to be contacted by us to be informed of your win. (Maria.) If these things did not happen, you are not the winner. If your name is Maria, but you did not place an order during sale week, chances are good you also did not receive a winning email from us, and chances are good you are also not the winner.
I am sorry, there is nothing I can do.
Don't feel too bad, I didn't win, either. You know things are bad when you can't even win your own darn contest.
But, hey, Congratulations, Maria!!!

Now that we know without a shadow of a doubt that Maria bought yarn during your sale week and that Maria was the contest winner, there's still one thing you haven't answered. And you, above all people, should be able to answer this question: How do you solve a problem like Maria?
