Been working on this now for 18month or more. I was doing good, then lost the will. Didnt touch it for a long time. Got some more twine ordered and cracking on with it now.

 

She is a 4.5inch mes, 13deep plus selvedge to be added. Currently its 37 (set) yards. Gonna keep going to 50.

 

It is knitted thus 2 stretch yards green 2 stretch brown etc.... its going to look cracking when complete

 

Twine is from agouti, and I will make the selvedge mesh of double strand brown/green

Well done :thumbs: nice bit of knitting i have made purse nets for a long time but i have started my first long net last week lol out of some orange spun polly ive had a few years its a bit thiner than i would normally use for my purse nets but should make a canny long net . I am just picking up the needle and knitting a bit when i feel like it so it might take a while to do lol when i run out of orange twine thats how long it will be :icon_redface: .

That is a nice net your got there i like the 2 tone,iv knitted a few over the years & know the time it takes and the soar /cut fingers :cray: and thinking this will never end,shortly after finishing my 50 yrd (100% bag)net in nylon an old game keeper gave a a tip to save my fingers from cuts when pulling the knot tight dont use plasters as they fall of instead cut the pinkies of rubber gloves and cut into bands to put on the finger parts that take the most contact with the tying materials,you cant beat the feeling you get when you finaly take out your completed hand knitted net for its first set :boogy:
