Thank you!!!!! Been putting off making a net bag but your video was perfect amount of calm talking and chill vibes to craft along to!!! The gauge piece really helped as well! So much less frustrating than guestimating!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Golly, thank you! Have been looking for clear instructions on making a net bag, and *finally*, here they are, beautifully explained and demonstrated. Had no trouble at at. Have string, have cardboard, have scissors, now to make a replacement bag for my gardening tools. BTW, loved listening, because your accent reminds me of home, from "yay long" to "mmmkay", to semi-singing the process of counting, all ways of speaking I use too, to this day. It all brings back such happy memories. Thanks so kindly!
Exactly what I was looking for to make reusable produce bags! I'm so excited to find such a simple method, and I love how it can be adapted to any materials or size you want. It's also the perfect portable project, since you can stop and start easily. Perfect for a car ride, waiting room, or whatever. The two colors is a brilliant idea to help keep everything neat, and it looks cute. Great demonstration! One thing I might do is put a little clip of some kind around the first knot of a new round, so I can find figure out where I was last if I get interrupted. Or I drop it. And I might punch a hole in my gauge for a cord that can be clipped to my clothing and/or the project. Because, dropping. 🙄 Now I'm going to dig up some balls of scrap yarn and try it out. I think my first project will be...a bag for balls of scrap yarn. 😉 Thanks so much!
Thank you SO much for this! It's exactly what I've been looking for for days. I was getting so frustrated with all the other videos that needed me to have all the needles and rings and things and super complicated knots and ways of holding things. I understood this immediately. Your instructions are very clear and precise. Perfect!
There seem to be two major ways of making a net. This way, and one using a sheet knot and a shuttle. Is there a reason you would choose one way over the other?
Honestly, the only reason I did it this way was to avoid having to learn how to tie the sheet knot and use the netting shuttle 😆 Instead, I just used some latent macrame skills.
I wanted to try using the seed silk as a down substitute to stuff something with, to see how it worked. During WWII, the area I live in was the top supplier of milkweed for the country’s armed services, for use in stuffing life vests. Apparently the seed silk stays very buoyant in water, when packed tightly into channels sewn in a life jacket.
