Just came across this on Facebook. Anders Forsling posted this and I got his permission to share it here. He was listing which of the patterns in Flymfer were his and which were Gunnar's.

Chadwick's yarn, tups dubbing...just add some plover hackle and you may have the "magic fly".

One of my favs!
