My current knitting bag is a super cute bright blue, fake patent leather, book bag I picked up at the local Fred Meyers for $14 on clearance. It works, it's funky, it holds all my WIP, but the "patent leather" has developed it's own life and the bag sits yawning wide open no matter how I put the books and WIP project bags in it, even when the bag is sitting on my shoulder going to my knitting group.
The bag is not cheap, and I don't normally spend money like that on myself. I fell in love with the Forest/Hemp Swift Bag and after many return trips to the Tom Bihn website, I bit the bullet and ordered one!
Tom Bihn ships UPS, which normally means one of two things: they don't ship to Alaska; or they ship to Alaska for astronomical prices!!!! Not Tom Bihn, they ship to Alaska using priority mail, so I only had to pay $10 shipping and not "$38 to $65" stated on the shipping information page!
She should be here by Friday!
UPDATE: January 17
When I placed my orderd I requested Forest/Hemp, so when I received an email from Trevor at Tom Bihn stating my swift in Kiwi/Kiwi was on back order until March and that I could wait or change my order, I was very confused.
I didn't order that color. I replied with the correct information of Forest/Hemp and if that color wasn't available I would like to cancel my order.
There a "strange technical issue with" my order. He went on to write: "According to your order you have selected kiwi/kiwi/ultraviolet, and when I checked the product page I do not even see forest/hemp listed as an option anymore. This is very strange, and something I will definitely look into.
The good news is I have found a forest/hemp Swift i our store front. I have set it aside for your order, will make the needed adjustments, and will ship it out this afternoon!"
So, I should get it early next week, but WOW, what great customer service!
