Tom,
Nice matching of names and colours to produce!
Very nice clean ties as well.

Izaak,

Some might say you are only feeding our habit.

But It sure tastes good. :D

Izaak,
Wonderful olives indeed! I have been working on a small box of soft-hackled blue winged olives inspired by the late Syl Nemes in his wonderful book "Soft-hackled Immitations". There are four patterns in his book and I have just gotten one of the four completed....starling and pheasant in sizes 12 and 14. I am a very slow tyer but I hope to have this box complete for the Roscoe Rendezvous.
I am inspired by your wonder patterns listed in this thread! They look fantastic! The B.W.O. is a magical insect causing many past and present writers to wax philosophically. It was a favorite of G.E.M. Skues and he waxed quite well on it throughout his famous career!
Yours from the den,
Dougsden
