The Leisenring Black Gnat is my favorite of the lot. Damn that's pretty...

I can't wait to see more in this series...

Those are amazing. I can't pick a favorite, ...but I do keep wandering back to the Black Gnat. The Iron Blue is a different look that I really like as well.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

All spot on, Carl. You should do a frame or shadow box of this set when you finish the tying.

Thanks Bill. I tied 4 sets. I had an order for one so I thought I would just do 4. I'll frame 1 and find something to do with the other 2.
