ive tried using Agouti but it confuses me so much .. that vid with the bright green stuff i always seem to twist something.. and another vid i cant gt my head around.. taking a break will go back to it once ive had some food ... kinda frustrating but i wont give up

[Col_c88 41]

Need some help, I get to the third row... and then a mesh from the second row pulls through and goes huge.. ive spent the past 40 minuts trying to figure out what to pull to get it back to the original size but i cant figure it out.. what did i do wrong?

Dont practice with the twine in your kit mate buy some cheapo stuff and use that till you have mastered it i think you have a knot slipping

[Col_c88 41]

Yea av got some cheap stuff from maxwells...... how do i stop the not slipping then? just pulli it tighter?

Your other knots are OK so your not doing this slipping knot the same, your doing well to get to the 3rd row its usually the 2nd row after you have cast onto the ring

Are you using a carrick bend knot? where you come up through the mesh, hold it with your thumb,throw a loop and then round the back of the mesh and up through the loop and then closing the knot(thats a standard knot) with a carrick bend when you get up to going through the loop(dont close it) but take the needle across the front and bring the needle up through the mesh you started on now close the knot and you will see it snaking round and down to knot itself its a lot easier to do than this sounds its almost self locking and tightens itself

Keep at it and GOOD LUCK

This is how I learned to make nets, Dont expect to get it straight away, it takes time and practice...................Loads of practice. Does anyone near you make their own nets? It might be better for someone to sit with you while you make a net to let you know where your going wrong. Watch this.
