problem making nylon purse net

[ianltz 5]

hi guys, first time using nylon, knitted the row to the ring as per the net making video, started knitting the second row and as i work along, the first row tied to the ring is moving( the meshes are lengthening on the one im tying and the one next to it is getting smaller) any tips how to stop this happening?

 

regards Ian

With nylon you have to make a double knot or the knot will slip. Just make a sheet bend as normal, then make another loop above the knot you have just made and pull tight.

With nylon you have to double knot it and if it's 4z nylon just burn it

no its 6z, i seem to have got it to stay now, just pulled it tighter to the ring and held it tight while i tied the first knot

sounds like the first row onto the ring is slipping round on the ring so you will get one long and the next will be short when i start on the ring i pick up the first and second loop so as it holds the two together and just keep picking up each one with the last loop holds them tight together hope this makes sense
