We all have a few go-to patterns that are quick to tie, efficient at the vise, requiring few hard to find materials and effective on the rivers we fish. I can guarantee that many of you have been accused of being ‘That Guy’ perusing just a little too long at JoAnn’s Crafts or Hobby Lobby when your wife or girlfriend has already paid and left for her next big find next door at TJMaxx. Sometimes, these are not the preferred stores, but we find materials not often found elsewhere. This is where I did not raid my daughters necklace making kit~ she wouldn’t be caught dead doing anything girly crafty like that.
