the yarn thief part two

You may remember my story about the French company bergere and the terrible treatment they received by the online crafting community well I decided to use my points. I treat myself to a set of knit pro wave hooks which with the other came in at bargain of under  ten pounds. I was so excited to order then my points vanished I contacted the company angry that I was being treated lime this due to people's previous greed but thankfully the company emailed me and reset my points and the second time the order was a success. Less than a week  later they arrived and here they are.


 I love these hooks and feel really lucky to have a full set. You may remember a friend bought me one for my birthday last month and it was so good to UAE I knew I needed all of them

Since getting them I can comfortably crochet much longer and so have nearly finished my mother in law lap quilt so for now will love you and leave you  but don't go far my ta day won't be long

the yarn thief

I have often heard people say there are no nicer people than racetracks for most part I agree . Every day I see people offering yarn needles ,hooks, or help to fellow crafters in need but just recently i have seen a darker side

.
A French company  were offering a promotion . You got ten pound for signing up and ten more if your friends joined face book went Wild as the offer went viral. People started getting greedy as setting fake accounts using friends to get as much free yarn as possible. The company couldn't cope and suspended offer and  said delivery would be delayed

Over the next few weeks the company were harrassed by people  wanting there yarn. People complained they didn't like colour or feel of wool.  The company tried to explain the communication hard as only one English speaking part time worker ., but still people were not happy. The company are currently investigating the obvious abuse of the offer which can only be termed as theft people orders are now delayed and who knows the damage to
the company who could not have expected this response

So I guess what I am.saying is why not show the company some love you can visit them. Here http://www.bergeredefrance.co.uk/cyclone.html

If you benefited from the offer you could leave them a nice word email them.review them.on a blog anything to Redeem there view of the crafting community


In case tour wondering I did take up the other but just the ten pounds and not redeemed it yet  but looming at there lovely wool I am.sure I will be visiting soon.
