Al Campbell Too Simple Swap

The Ray Charles swap got me looking at the Al Campbell archives and his series of Too Simple flies in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2004. There are some interesting flies in that series, so I would like to host a swap using these 10 patterns. Each person sign up for one of the 10. I'll give you all first shot at the patterns and take what is left later on.

Each tyer needs to have their 10 flies to me by April 28. I will send out shipping info as soon as everyone is signed up. Be sure your flies are toetagged, and include your packaging and postage.

I would like to join. Put me down for the too simple Ray Charles.

ol' blue;
Put me in for the Elk Hair Caddis. Now I have to find a source for Punch Yarn!

You are all signed up. Welcome!

I'll post this because I didn't get the punch embroidery yarn concept and I figured you guys can learn through my ignorance. I thought punch yarn was a brand name. Turns out, it is a punch embroidery technique, and you buy that type of yarn. Lots of stuff out there. If I end up with a punch yarn pattern, I'll probably head for our local craft stores. I did a quick search online and came up with 80 colors for under $2 a card.

I purchased my punch yarn on line, if anyone is intersted it can be purchased on ebay or at this site. Hope this is some help to someone. John
