To: Knitting A Conundrum; All

Those socks are funny. I am the absolute worst at starting a project and never finishing.

But that doesn't stop me.

I am looking for instructions on how to make the net ground for doing LACIS, aka FILET LACE. Does anyone have any links to on-line instructions? Or perhaps know of a book where it is detailed? Instructions for making fishing nets would also work.

TIA

There are several books for that around. Dilmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework has it. And do check out Lacis http://www.lacis.com .

Putzing around the net, I found the following sites:

http://www.wedcraft.com/netting.html
(it's an SCA site aimed more at making hairnets, but has some nice links and a bibliography for netting technique)

http://knotsindeed.com/links.html
another site dedicated to netting. This is the links page. it looks outstanding.

I bought the tools for netting that Lacis sells and have been meaning to learn, but it's another case of a round tuit...
