Oh, lucky day! I got to the post office just at 5:00, and they still let me in the door because I was only picking up a package.
Oh, joy! I came home bearing this:
Careful application of a pair of scissors opened the outer mailer, revealing this:
Cute, huh? Knitting terms in German and English.And cutting the tape and opening the paper bag reveals... hoorah! My Wollmeise!
Plus a complimentary knitting pattern, Wollmeise sticker, and little bag of gummi bears.
I wish my camera captured purples better. The yarn looks very blue in the picture, but definitely shades of purple-blue and purple-red in real life. Here 'tis in the fading natural light of the day:
Edison approves, too!
So there is is, my first completed Wollmeise purchase direct from the website! Hoorah!

oooo. I'm so jealous! Edison is a doll!
Congrats... The yarn looks so beautiful. I am knitting with some purple silk right now, love it. Good luck,

Gorgeous! Lucky! And I think we have the same knitting kitty. Either that, or mine is slumming.
I am a little bit late with my comment. I bet by now you turned that yarn into something gorgeous. I was born and raised in Germany and loved to knit. Once I knitted 8 sweaters for Christmas presents. My co-worker owned sheep and that's where I got my supply.
Germans have a different way of knitting, its faster. I always wanted to teach that in this country. I also had speed knitting needles that I could never find here.
