Same as a purse net then cut the ring off , or start it on a key ring and and just slide it off

If you are knitting directly onto a ring whilst making your purse nets ? then all you need to do is either cut the twine from the ring once you have the length you require or better still get a split ring, that way you can just feed the meshes of the split ring , saves any twine being cut once you have the required length..

Yeah, after your 1st lenth, you can do away with the split ring and just use a loop of cord. Just thread it through each mesh in a row, then hook both ends of the loop on your anchor point, just keep going like that.

As said a loop of twine or a bit of wood like a ruler drilled at each end and a bit of twine at each end to attach to your anchoring point

Hmm interesting, good idea T O. I was having a think about something like this, cos the last longnet I done, the lenth was creeping on one edge, due to my triangle bending out of shape and going un-noticed. Just waiting for some more twine to start another and Im gonna give this a go. Simple but effective, just like me lol.

I use a large climbing carabiner, clicks open and close in seconds.

Edited to say, you could even use a small 6t bow shackle.

Thats what i found with a loop of twine as your pulling the knot tight the net might move on the twine and after a few yards you can end up with longer meshes if you dont watch what your doing . That round clip looks ideal and in my price range

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Yeah they look Ideal, and being 2" you`ll be able to knit straight onto it. Cheap enough too. Gonna go order one now.....

[bobcullen79 1,495]

I dunno though, Ive just read the couple of reviews and their getting slated. One mentions not being strong enough for a camera bag and the other says it doesnt quite close properly.... I might look for a better quality one, cos it`d be a handy bit of kit.
