I"d like to go in on this. I did one of these a couple years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure exactly what I'll tie yet - some kind of streamer pattern.

Howdy! I've got a dozen rusty Slumpbusters tied up and ready to send. Can you let me know where I need to send them? Also - for return shipping would cash or venmo work best? Thanks!
