Thought they were great nets, found one in an old bag couple year back and decided to get 2 dozen knocked out. They turned out spot on, I was delighted with them and the memories of using the old ones came flooding back. Pity I've still not put feckin pegs on them Quote Link to post

Leo Sayer 3,981 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Back in the day when I used knit my own purse n fox nets. I started out to knit a long net , I only got to about 15 yards and got fed up , so made it into a stop net for ferreting . I was a young lad bang on lamping and chasing skirt when not. So got fed up knitting it, how I wished I would of stuck it out and finished it. I can't remember what year they came out , but I first see the basket method on vhs by Glen Waters . So my old mate made one up , gotta to be honest I was never that keen on the basket system. Quote Link to post
