The website said 5-14 days, so I was expecting it some time next week. I will definitely match up the stripes, just like on the other stripy Jaywalkers I knit. It would drive me crazy to have unmatched stripes! Felici is softer than I had thought it would be. I may have to break my 'no new projects until old ones are finished' vow to cast on for these.

I get from there all the time. Their shipping is super quick! I ordered my yarn maybe a couple days before the festival and they came in on Monday. I'm not sure if I want to try to match up the stripes on the socks or not. I probably will, because I'm anal like that, and then Sam and Efrain will tease me like they did with my Kroy socks. This is the first time I've ever liked any color of Felici, so I've never worked with it. In fact I like a few of the colorways this release so I hope that I like working with it so I can buy more!
