    Dear Tom Bihn, Bring Back the Little Swift!

    I finally bought the SWIFT after debating it for so long!

    Until now, I was using the SIZE 2 HANDY LITTLE THING to store my knitting accessories, but it was hard to open when I didn’t have a table, and finding my tools was a hassle.

    But with the SWIFT, it’s so much easier to access all the little things I need!

    If there’s one downside to this bag, it’s that it feels a bit big for me to carry everywhere.

    Tom Bihn team, please bring back the LITTLE SWIFT!!

    My mom wants one too!

    Been my project bag, everyday carry, gym and catch all bag in one. A little on the larger side (fits thick sweater knits, shawls. 12/10 for upright standing on its own!!! Would want to get the Little Swift in Aubergine in a restock. Love the burnt orange, a bit more muted and earth-tone-burnt-pumpking-pie colour. Yarn pouch fits a whole ball of Noro (Ito) yarn!

    Interested to see how this compares to the Pop Tote.

    Wow!

    When TB re-released The Swift, I ignored it because I am not a knitter. However, during one of the Limited Restocks, I because curious and went ahead and purchased a Swift! Mind Blown! It is very well made. The pockets are intuitive and so are the placement of the O-rings. The size is also deceiving. I didn't think it would fit the usual things I carry with me when I go to work. I can fit my lunch, 40 oz water bottle, and other odds and ends that make my life easier at work. It usually houses either an Everyday Cubelet or Side Effect, a mini Q-kit, a 3DOC organizer, a cubelet, size 3 travel stuff sack, and size 1 travel stuff sack. The handle are very comfortable, too, whether I am holding it with one hand, or doing the shoulder carry. I love this so bag so much that I went ahead and bought a second one when the opportunity came! The Swift is my favorite bag at this time!

    Swift is the BEST!!!

    I’ve been using my Swift for knitting. I carry 1-3 projects and tools and my wallet and everything you’d carry in a purse for a trip and I still have room for a library book and a few groceries. It holds lots without complaining - my shoulder’s crying but not my Swift.

    It sits on the ground without falling over, looks tidy and clean - My Best Knitting Bag Ever!!

    Great bag

    I have had many knitting bags during my time, and I had a fire at my house and lost everything. The only bag I was interested in replacing was the swift it’s lightweight with no snagging problems and I love it. The size is perfect. Not to mention, the colors are beautiful.
