  1. There has to have been something on the outside of the atom, but i guess its one of those things nobody will ever truly understand Like WOMEN
  2. i was thinking this over xmas while i was knitting away.
  3. Fantastic baskets these. I've seen these first hand, the workmanship is top draw
  4. I'll be knitting away this afternoon for a few hours myself
  5. It only takes a fer ar*e holes to ruin things for everyone. To be fair i'll be glad to get 2013 out the way.......... was an uphill struggle from the start which has a knock on effect so its been a very very busy year. Lets hope 2014 brings a little more luck to everyone. Happy new year people.
  6. Hi John, sounds like your having a tough time of it up there. i'll be having a day up that way before the seasons out, your more than welcome to come join me. least you've a nice few for the pot to start the year
  7. I wouldn't recommend it, painfully slow. I do make my own pins mate out of mild and stainless, there not always perfectly circular but they do a good enough job for me . Mr Goodcat. It's a pitch for toddlers mate and i think it's tapered as well,, just to add to the confusion. Thank you for that Mr Wilkes . I get on with that type of net really well but when its saturated you can really feel the difference compared to a lighter single stranded one. Cheers. Mr Goodcat. I find it tough getting time to knit one net let alone two. I've got a nice little machine coming to

  9. I never thought, do you do stainless pins Les? i do make stainless pins Bob but if i was you i'd take smithie up on a free set of mild steel Good man smithie thats a nice offer
  10. Nothing quite like a hand knitted net. Not sure if i could face knitting 2 at once. Do you make your own pins?? Regards Les
  11. I always add a mesh into the clove hitch when im rigging a quickset, if your using 4 1/4" mesh then count 85 meshes and measure out 5 yards on your running lines and tie into your grommet or bands. if your setting at 6 yard centres then do as Tiercel says and count 102 meshes to every 6 yard.

  18. Stu, well done mate very happy for you. A catch on your first drop.........you'll be hooked before you know it Its a hard thing to do once you hear that squeal for the first time but stay steady and continue with your bant. Now where do i get one of those Donkeys??????? Keep them coming Stu Great first Topic. Edit: For your first time out netting at night how did you find that basket mate?? Regards Les
  19. Well done for getting out Jack. Dont worry about not catching, your not the first to go home empty handed on their first outing and you wont be the last Keep a little note book of each drop you do, you'll soon know when to go out or stay by the fire
  20. Great photo, that little fella's going nowhere what camera were you using Joe?
