kaberett | current developmental stage: "look what I made!!! ... you didn't LOOK"

All of the Sad Bits Of String in the house (except one that's previously been used and is somewhat the worse for wear, which is important only insofar as its elasticity differs quite a bit from everything else) are now A Net. Tomorrow I am expecting to get another 4-6 bits of string, which I am hoping will let me finish a row neatly and then form some of the foundation row for net #2. I am feeling Very Accomplished about my Skill Acquisition and will probably take a photo of my Finished Creation tomorrow and make all of you look at it too.

(There is More String in the greenhouse, and I might manage to bring some of that back to facilitate Further Creations...)

Having exhausted the resources for this special interest, perhaps I will next be able to move on to patching some trousers (with a tentative gesture towards doing so Decoratively), the box of miscellaneous linen scraps I bought off eBay having arrived yesterday, without the colour match I was hoping for but with a much more striking option that will be lovely if I can make it work...

I too have made a bit of net!!

(inspired by the video Tuesday. I made my makeshift netting needle out of cardboard and tape, and my sample is not very wide, but...)

My gauge board is cardboard and I didn't bother with a netting needle because I'm using bits of string that are at most about 1m long and it's easier to add them as I go, but I am delighted to have company in this new hobby and might yet follow your example with the needle!
