I have reported this on Facebook/support/Messenger to no avail. You pay for something, you should get it without question and I have pictures to back up they sent the wrong items.

I really wanted to like this midi backpack- especially as I travel extensively, and my old midi backpack was in need of replacement. I really wish you would bring back the old style of the midi backpack.
1. The pockets for the water bottle are too small- no water bottle will fit in them.
2. The snaps do not stay snapped.
3. The bag is not water repellant.
4. Really doesn’t hold much- would not even hold my project supplies for a shawl.
The old bag had 3 distinct sections, that could be securely closed-plus they held more items securely, opened accordion style with a strap and hook to securely keep it closed. As we travel, the old style bag was great- served as a purse/backpack that could handle the rain and all my project/travel needs. The old style also had a ‘leash’ with a clasp to hold scissors, etc. Please bring back the old style!

I'm writing again because I want to stop anyone who is thinking about hopping on this kit. It would be very easy to catch up, but if you choose the Acrylic in the Romantic, you will HATE it. I have been disappointed with every color sent, but was going to preserver. April's color!!!??? Completely changes everything from the chance and hope of tones of brown and rose to just plain ugly. Unbelievable. Someone is have a good laugh at our expense. Forget my idea that I might make a top out of the squares, cause no way this yarn would hold up as a blanket, once I got them all done. Its game over as far as I'm concerned. I can't add a picture of what I'm talking about which is a shame. I am canceling. 18 bucks spent on ugly is just stupid.

The packaging of this set is lovely. The case is shaped like a clutch purse with 2 magneic closures, feels like leather, and has a zippered pocket in the back for the tape measure, scissors, stitch markers, and needle. This comes in a sturdy box that also looks like a clutch purse and has a magnetic closure. The true stars, though, are the gorgeous hooks. The wood handles warm up immediately and feel very comfortable and feather light. The thumb rests are perfectly shaped and placed. The heads are inline and glide effortlessly into each stitch. This set hits a home run for me!

I have been knitting for many years but I recently decided to try a super bulky yarn which I love. It is very soft and the colors are gorgeous. I decided to get an early start on this year's Christmas gifts.

This is a beautiful, well-made set of hooks with lovely wood handles that feel amazing in your hand. Unfortunately, they chose to print the size info on the shaft of the hook, which creates rough areas that I can feel while crocheting. I've never wished for sizing information to wear off on hooks before! However, the info appears to be there to stay. If you run the tip of your finger over the info, it seems like it might be smooth, but if you gently run your fingernail over it, it's quite rough and explains why it's noticeable while crocheting.
I'm pretty sad about this because, as I said, the hooks are beautiful. Why oh why would you put rough printing on the business end of a crochet hook? On what should be a slippery smooth surface?? It's practically a deal-breaker for me using them, as I'm used to flawless hooks made in Japan, so will likely continue to reach for those instead of this set.
And on a minor note, the case, while nice quality, is a bit much †kind of bulky and cumbersome. You have to remove the whole sleeve of hooks from the pouch in order to select one hook. And then it's a bit awkward trying to replace the hook into the elastic bands and then fit the sleeve back into the pouch. But I knew this was the arrangement going in, from the photos, so I'm not docking the rating for this part. Just mentioning for others' information.

Love my blocking mats… ordered a second set not because the first set has problems still great after years of use but because I’m doing larger projects!
