You may find this easier to believe than us, but Twisted is turning a year old
on June 29th! Emily will be turning the BIG 2-8 that day, too. Crazy. This past
year has been so wonderful, and for that we have you, our customers, to thank.
So, thank you for your support, for your business, for your friendship. Thank
you for referring your friends to us, for spreading the word in person and on
the internet. Thank you for your hugs, your suggestions, and your
encouragement. We really couldn't have done this without you!

TWITTER

Last month, Emily had a fit of geeky inspiration and set up a
Twitter
account for us. If you're a serious Twisted-phile, this is going to take things
to a whole new level. We'll post frequent updates about any and all new
products we get or things were planning or things were doing. Twitter updates
can go to your mobile phone, your IM, or you can follow us on the website, or
browse through them with that pink box in the upper right hand corner of the
blog
when you visit our website.

MAY & JUNE CONTESTS
|
Our May contest to select a catchy slogan for Twisted had lots of wonderful
entries. Thank you all for your wonderful, creative, fun ideas! The winner was
Leila W. with:
Keep Portland Twisted
In the very near future, you'll see this on t-shirts, tote bags, bumper
stickers, and baby onesies in the shop. Thank you Leila!!!!
There are also two runners-up. One is a clever t-shirt design from Leah N. that
reads: Front - "No, I didn't knit this t-shirt", Back - "But I did knit the
hat, the scarf, the mittens, and the socks..." The other is a fun tagline that
we'll be using in advertising from David C.: "Twisted - it's not just a state
of mind, it's a yarn shop on Broadway." Honorary mentions go to Dave P. and
Stefan L.
June's contest subject is: creative things to do with lots of rubber bands...
Sound weird? Check out the full story on our
contest page
