Only few feet in and nearly binned it 10 times lol. I did 24 meshes wide and started on a ring which was bad idea and went down hill there. I have it on a triangle now like Simon has here but its drifts to the corner. Might make a better one. Simon has inspired me to do better. How I ever did my 50 yard net i never no Quote Link to post

I don’t have the skills or the patience for net making. plus there are far better men doing it than i could ever be. I don't mind paying top dollar for top quality. Quote Link to post

Some of lads on here do a stunning job real craftsmen. The ones I make just work fine but they are far from perfect. 1 Quote Link to post
lllluke1 329 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Terry, I'm sure it was Alan who told me to take a couple of meshes off the board as you are knitting them. Saying that, none of mine are as neat as in the top picture. Quote Link to post

netrigger 568 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Keep the work short, do not knit to far from the anchor point,, a simple loop of braid is all that's needed, thread the braid through the meshes, this now becomes the new anchor point. 5 Quote Link to post
