Not quite on topic, not quite off topic

Donna's post got me wondering - how many stitches are shared across
different "thread" uses.

I know from when my Dad tied flies some of the finished results remind me of
needle lace and edging stitches even though he used very stiff threads and
pliers.

Next?

Also a close relationship between knots that sailors used and the
macrame craze back in the 70s.

Hadn't thought that far. BTW - it's back in style for jewelry.

I can tell you that Ginger was getting Kreinik cheaper at the fly-tying
shop than at the LNS. Same Kreinik, only the price was changed.


I've heard that before. A wander through almost any store will find you
something you can repurpose!
