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!
Exhibit A:
This is my yarn for the Enchanted Wood Lace Shawl KAL 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’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!
It looks like sign-ups are still open so anyone interested can still join in the fun. The KAL starts January 10, 2010.
Exhibit B:
What a surprise it was to receive a package from Johanne, as I was not expecting it. Inside was this:
Sock yarn! Sock yarn! Sock yarn! And this:
It’s a Swedish crafts magazine, and this issue is focused on knitting. Great magazine — it reminds me somewhat of Threads. Johanne sent it to me because it has an article about traditional Swedish knitting with some wonderful photos:
I was flipping through the rest of the magazine and this caught my eye:
Hee hee. 😀
(It’s from an article about knitting resources on the internet.)
And from the comments . . .

Oooh – I love the kitty bag. Where did you get it?
That is a custom made bag from Three Bags Full. Michelle does gorgeous work — I highly recommend her bags!
