Finally Finished It


Recommended Posts

100yards of net. Waiting to be rigged onto 50yards of line.

 

Spun poly off agoutinets. Double selvedge 4.5inch mesh.

 

Its been a long time in progress. Pick it up. And leave it for months.....

 

To be honest. I havent really got a use for it. But just nice to make something :thumbs:

Nice net I make purse nets and wouldn't mind making a few stop nets about 15 yards or so, how do you start a long net because with a purse net you knit onto the ring so I wasn't sure where to start with a long net,cheers.

You can start a long net the exact same way but just keep knitting row after row, till you have your desired length of netting then just cut off the ring.

It never ceases to amaze me when ever I mention cutting the net off a ring how people are totally against it, and will go to all sorts to avoid doing it. It takes just over a minute to knit a row and a fair bit longer to unthread the meshes off a split ring or what ever. Never seen the point myself.

 

Edited to add:

 

It's the same with starting new net. The sensible and quickest way to do it is to carry on knitting once you have finished one net, do an extra 10 or so rows then just cut the net, so you do not have to restart when making the new net. Will people do it? Will they heck.
