Argyle Crochet FREE BOOK DAY 3/29/13

Hi Dynamos!

As you know, my new book Crochet Dynamite: Argyle Crochet is going to be FREE on Amazon tomorrow in the Kindle store (don't have a Kindle?  Amazon has FREE software you can download to read the book on your computer, smartphone, or tablet!).  I'm so excited not only because I think the book turned out amazing, but also because it's my ONE YEAR BLOGEVERSARY!!!   Yippee!!!

So far, the most books that I've been able to give away in a single day has been a little over 1,800.  That number seems really small to me.  I'd love to give away double that for this book.  Do you think you can help me get the word out about my awesome new book?  I will make it worth your while!

Today and tomorrow only, I'm having a giveaway contest for everyone who blogs, tweets, pins, phones a friend, posts on Facebook/Google+/a crochet community forum board about my FREE BOOK DAY.  The prize is a $20 Amazon gift card (so you can buy yarn, hooks, or other Crochet Dynamite books!!! LOL!!!)

You can earn up to five entries in this giveaway contest:

 1. Send a Tweet to let your friends know that tomorrow, March 29th, Crochet Dynamite: Argyle Crochet is FREE on Amazon (#argylecrochet)

 2. Post status update on Facebook or Google+ to let your friends know that tomorrow, March 29th, Crochet Dynamite: Argyle Crochet is FREE on Amazon

3. Write a blog post, or post in a crochet community forum to let your friends know that tomorrow, March 29th, Crochet Dynamite: Argyle Crochet is FREE on Amazon

4. Pin the picture in this post onto Pinterest to let your friends know that tomorrow, March 29th, Crochet Dynamite: Argyle Crochet is FREE on Amazon

 5. Call at least one friend (or family member) that crochets to tell them that tomorrow, March 29th, Crochet Dynamite: Argyle Crochet is FREE on Amazon  (This one's on the honor system, Dynamos!  I'll know if you're fibbing! :D)

Sadly, I don't have a huge marketing team (yet) to track everyone's entries, so you're going to have to tell me yourself.  :D  Please leave me a comment on this post to let me know what you've done (one comment = one entry, so leave a separate entry for each thing you do).
The contest to win the $20 giftcard ends on Friday night when the FREE BOOK promotion ends.  I will pick a winner using Random.org on Saturday morning, so make sure you include an email address so I can contact you if you win.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me get the word out.  I know we can set a new Crochet Dynamite FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY record!!

xoxo

    Thanks so much for the notification, and I wish you great success in your book. It looks fabulous and I'm anxious to try the argyle pattern.

    can't download it from Amazon because it says it is not available in my country which is Canada, you mention in your article above that you did not have many downloads before, this might be part of the problem. Seems that you are only making it available to certain groups of people.

    Oh well.

    I already downloaded the Kindle book and saw this after I shared the news with my group's Delphi forum. :P I'm intrigued by the Argyle stitches.
