Sock Club!
Well, the day has finally arrived. Today is the day you can sign up for the Booty Club. Sign ups will start at 6pm PDT and they will continue until I reach my limit.
At 6pm PDT, a magical link will appear at the bottom of this post. The link will take you to a page where you can sign up for a couple different options: the monthly subscription and the 3 month subscription. You do save a bit if you sign up for all 3 months at once, but I think you will find both options are very affordable.
There will be 6 different buttons. PLEASE make sure you click the correct button. 2 buttons are for US subscriptions, 2 buttons are for Canadian subscriptions, and 2 buttons are for subscriptions outside the US and Canada. The buttons are marked with little flag icons to help you pick the correct one.
If you won’t be around a computer at the time of club sign ups, there’s really nothing I can do about that. Sorry!! There will be more clubs in the future.
Oh, and try not to crash my server. Seriously. I’m not supposed to be drinking scotch in my delicate condition…;).
CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE BOOTY CLUB!!!
ETA: Thanks everyone! Sign ups are closed.

There’s going to be a mini pirate!! I am so jealous! Me and the hubby are trying to decide when to try for a little one. Do you think he/she will be a knitter or dyer?

It looks like I will miss the boat (er, club) this time around, since I am supposed to be sitting in a movie theater at 6:00 PST watching PIRATES. Oh, the irony… but I’m not complaining, since I’ve already got 3 skeins of YP in my stash!

I had a little trouble with PayPal too the first time I tried it but then went back to the signup page, clicked my selection again, and it went right through. I’m relieved to know it wasn’t just me. PayPal must be wondering what in the world is going on tonight. LOL

I’m in. Three times. PayPal went berserk on me. I had to keep reloading because it kept dropping me and saying “Click here to retry”. I’d never seen that before, so I clicked it. I’m now the proud owner of three memberships. As much as I love the yarn, I don’t need three memberships! I’ve written Georgia and asked her to refund two of the memberships, so if anyone tried and couldn’t get in, don’t despair. Hopefully, once she wades through all the e-mails and PayPal receipts, she’ll notice it and will notify two lucky almost-Pirates that they’re full-fledged shipmates.
ARGH!

I had problems with Paypal too and while I had to “log in” multiple times, I only see one transaction and a subscription that shows being active. I pray it only draws from my acct once as the alternative would really shake things up here with DH!!

Could she really mean BABY PIRATE!? SQUEEE! Congratulations!!!!
Two things: 1) this news totally distracted from my rant. This may be Helpful Marketing Information for the future, totally, and 2) how many tiny pirate eyepatches do you think you’ll get from well-wishers? It should TOTALLY be a contest of some sort. Seriously.
SQUEE!
