Woven nymphs are easy to tie, once you surrender to the fact, you have two left hands.

Just love the way you tie Norm, very nice. As this is my favorite fly I play with it a lot. Adding a little orange thread tip behind the body under the tail makes a statistical difference in my catch rate. A guard hair tail tends to fish better than hackle fibers, burnt or orange thread better than brown, which is better than black. Sometimes I rib with yellow floss and tie with a matching silk. I try lots of variations. Worked up a bunch with grouse hackle recently.
I think the fish in one of the rivers I fish don't care for peacock at all. I tried that peacock version and just didn't have a lot of success. That's why eventually most of my birds of prey ended up being black simi seal instead of peacock. I have found a darker thorax does make the hares ear a better fly, and I use a darker shade of hares ear on mine. I like to play with different ties, and then tie on a "standard" version and see how it compares.
