How Do Tony, Willeke and All :wink:

I will be trying that one as well, thanks for sharing your Knowledge Tony, I could have done with it a year ago though ;D My net may not have taken so long then.
I will let you know how I find it.

Take care,
Barry :wink:

How do Tony and All :wink:

Wow, why has no one else thought of that yet?
You need to have a slightly longer length of line out from the needle than usual (in my case anyway) but this causes no problems, I did find though that as the line got shorter and the loop smaller it caught around the hand in the final stage of making the mesh sometimes, but nothing that a bit of practice can’t solve,

Thanks for sharing,
I will be making use of this technique on my next project.

Take care,
Barry :wink:

Thanks Barry. You are correct in using a longer length of line. I only used a shorter length to show the placement of the line. Tony
