:D I did it! … I resisted! ... I did not run out and buy the rare and coveted straight-bolstered Calf Roper … ! :D

… but then I picked up another 62 whittler and a half congress … ::doh::

Can I blame them on Monk, too? :?

Well other than the bolsters and the etch (I wish they would quit that) they are the same.

I'd really like to see a punch on this pattern... ::nod::
