Ever notice how much tiers push for innovations and a new look? We get bored, creative, lost and from that comes perfection and the same old. Sometimes, maybe often, the old, old unadorned patterns work equally well, but seem boring? Pull out the old shoes from the back of the closet and give them yet another try. I know…you are itching to put a rib on that fly.

Great post. Pulling out the “old shoes” is a real treat sometimes.

I like it. It’s a blast to “collect” old patterns like this. I’ll need to add it to the tying list.
