Be warned! Wollmeise!

If you are part of the first-ever Wollmeise Sock Club and have not seen the first package yet, go away NOW. There are some pictures involved here. :)


I knew that the package had arrived while we were enjoying our annual trip to Krakow. Because it didn't arrive before the trip, I checked the spoiler thread from Ravelry before I left for the airport. I just knew I couldn't take eight more days of suspension.


When we came back, I was not able to go to sleep and get the parcel the next day as I had planned. Instead I put my clothes back on and ran out the door to get it from the post office - and boy, it was worth it!


The theme was home land and Claudia's home land is Bavaria in Germany. The wonderful, deep colours of the yarn represented Bavaria- Elderberry bush and box wreath. Attached were a wonderful sock pattern, fabulous DPNs and a piece of chocolate.


My problem is this: I can't bring myself to unwrap the yarn from it's plastic shelter. I have three skeins of Wollmeise sock yarn now and I have never actually touched the stuff. Eh?
