			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love getting stuff in the mail, and an added benefit is getting stuff in the mail when you have little to blog about. Presto chango, instant blog fodder!</p>
<p><strong>Exhibit A:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/ShawlYarn092209.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4770" title="ShawlYarn092209" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/ShawlYarn092209-240x160.jpg" alt="ShawlYarn092209 240x160 Mail Call" width="240" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>This is my yarn for the <a href="http://theuniquesheep.com/Clubs/enchantedwoodkal.html" target="_blank">Enchanted Wood Lace Shawl KAL</a> from The Unique Sheep. Hope on over to the page I linked there to read all about it. The Unique Sheep is finishing up The Secret Garden KAL. I didn&#8217;t join that one, but my buddy L-B did and she has been having a lot of fun with it. so I decided to sign up when they announced the Enchanted Wood club. You make your choice from many many yarns, and I chose their Luxe yarn (wool/silk blend) in a gradience colorway: Mirkwood. I love my yarn!</p>
<p>It looks like sign-ups are still open so anyone interested can still join in the fun. The KAL starts January 10, 2010.</p>
<p><strong>Exhibit B:</strong></p>
<p>What a surprise it was to receive a package from <a href="http://www.borntoknit.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Johanne</a>, as I was not expecting it. Inside was this:</p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Yarn092209.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4771" title="Yarn092209" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Yarn092209-240x160.jpg" alt="Yarn092209 240x160 Mail Call" width="240" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>Sock yarn! Sock yarn! Sock yarn! And this:</p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Magazine092209.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4759" title="Magazine092209" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Magazine092209-193x240.jpg" alt="Magazine092209 193x240 Mail Call" width="193" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a Swedish crafts magazine, and this issue is focused on knitting. Great magazine &#8212; it reminds me somewhat of <em>Threads</em>. Johanne sent it to me because it has an article about traditional Swedish knitting with some wonderful photos:</p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Magazine092209a.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4761" title="Magazine092209a" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Magazine092209a-240x170.jpg" alt="Magazine092209a 240x170 Mail Call" width="240" height="170" /></a></p>
<p>I was flipping through the rest of the magazine and this caught my eye:</p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Magazine092209b.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4762" title="Magazine092209b" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Magazine092209b-240x210.jpg" alt="Magazine092209b 240x210 Mail Call" width="240" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>Hee hee. <img src='http://wendyknits.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt="icon biggrin Mail Call" class='wp-smiley' title="Mail Call" /> </p>
<p>(It&#8217;s from an article about knitting resources on the internet.)</p>
<p><strong>And from the comments . . .</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://knitsnpurrs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tammy</a> said:</p>
<p><em>Oooh &#8211; I love the kitty bag.  Where did you get it?</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/bag090209.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4627" title="bag090209" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/bag090209-160x240.jpg" alt="bag090209 160x240 Mail Call" width="160" height="240" /></a><br />
</em></p>
<p>That is a custom made bag from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5267425" target="_blank">Three Bags Full</a>. Michelle does gorgeous work &#8212; I highly recommend her bags!</p>
<p><strong>Lucy sez:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Lucy092209.jpg" rel="lightbox[4757]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4772" title="Lucy092209" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/Lucy092209-240x160.jpg" alt="Lucy092209 240x160 Mail Call" width="240" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s for dinner? Catfood <em><strong>again</strong></em>?&#8221;</p>
