Fedex, it was 52 customs, 41 HST, 10 ROD (what?). Whatever, I'm happy with my sweater. 

Can we get a pic of your toque btw? Doesn't it itch your head?

Toque is scratchy at first but becomes more comfortable as you wear it.
Eventually it stretches to a nice size for your head.

Toque is awesome. I have to admit though, being a knit, it lets some wind through. I wouldn't recommend it for a cold windy day in the prairies. But overall i'm a big fan. It can get a touch itchy on my forehead, but that's a lilliputian detail. I'll try and post a picture or two this weekend.

^What part of Canad are you in?

Mine only gets itchy when it's too warm to wear it.

Awesome, thanks. I'll look into it. Any word on the quality?

Kanata, Granted, Canadian Sweater Company are all similar in quality. Of the three, I believe CSC is a bit nicer, but not a huge difference. I don't think any of them use Salish knitters consistently (maybe not at all).

The best salish knit I've seen personally is the one Filson used a few years ago, called Canadian Artisiens. I have not found any more info about this company on the web.

PSA: Just received an email from Shannon -- Inverallan/Strathtay have decided to close down mail orders again.

wtf, you guys really outdid yourselves. They should just raise their web order prices, would cut off half of the moronic tire kickers.

Indeed, I should not have shared that e-mail last summer. I'd say BRAVO!

Besides, I've learned Shannon is in hospital, I hope she will recover quickly and that it has nothing to do with pressure or stress related to all these dumb questions and e-mails that some of you sent.

She would be dead then.

She would be dead then.

Yes i'm afraid

Well, I'll just bide my time and see if I get my invoice within the next few weeks or so. If not, I'll just have to find an alternative elsewhere.

Damn, why I sleep on this.

Zissou, don't take more responsibility than necessary. No deposits, people will just paypal you full payments directly. No changing mind on type, sizes or color. Commit or stfu! Already getting a good deal so can always just sell the item in b/s for the people who refuse to read the thread. They go for a good price anyways.

Yeah, IF it happens, it would be a limited number, full payment due up front, standard sizing and colors. I haven't heard back except that Shannon is in the hospital. So, I'll post here if anything comes of it.

damn zis really wants my 4a

Nah, you probably got some corvette Mr Rogers color

Another group order, saywha? I still have a very bad taste in my mouth form losing out on my money and never receiving my sweater from the previous group buy. No fault of zissou's as he was awesome, it was the bastards from the Mandan Store who never responded to emails and were never available the multiple times I tried calling over the phone

They said they had taken care of everyone. For some reason, the last six or so orders were a nightmare.

all you fuckwits had to do was read the thread and send in the form. that's it. read and send. a few of us covered all the bases in terms of questions. gtran even condensed the important stuff to a single post. but no.

I feel bad for people like zissou

I don't really understand what was so hard either. I think I had about 7 emails in total, from start to finish, including my thank you email to her once I received it. So maybe 3 emails I actually sent, and I felt I was on the obsessive side....

Got my wine 3A and its amazing. I've been too busy to post any pics of it yet, but i'll take a bunch later this week.

 

[jimney]

I did four emails total. Wooo I'm winning!

 

[cyc wid it]

1 e-mail. It contained the order form and a short message saying that I understood it would take 12-14 weeks for completion. How could you need more?
