Purse Nets

[BORDERSCOT 3,816]

I see quite a few guys on this site knit their own nets. How long does it take to complete each net with 2" mesh 14 wide and 18 long? I realise some will be quicker than others but was wondering the average time to knit a net. Thanks

30 mins but you add mesh on and take it off as you wind back into your ring or toggle , rabbit netting or making nets i easy we learned as 14 year old juveniles ,gill nets long nets etc easy , dificult id lobster traps trawl nets etc thats a skill rabit nets first year apprentice stuff saw guys that can barely [bANNED TEXT] make nets so not to hard lol

a net takes me 90-100 minutes each shaped starting at 8 out to 18 and back to 8 23rows long 4'6",21/4"meshboard and 1- 8"needle from start to finish no joining twine

So am I right to think that on rows 11, 12 and 13 you are knitting to 18 wide. If not can you perhaps give me a breakdown on how this 23 row net works out. Appreciate your time. Thanks.

Basically as you describe start with 8 and increase each end of every other row

so by 10 I have 18 on the meshboard 3 rows at 18 and then start decreasing every other row back down to 8
