That's neat :) Although I suck at knitting with really big needles, they make me feel like I'm 2 years old.

That's pretty cool. I had been hoping for instuctions for the thready Mexican-styled hammocks, but hey, that'll work. :)

maybe if you used different colored rope and a smaler gage to make it look more like a mexican-style hammocks

Great idea! I think that's probably the closest I could get, anyway -- I think the mexican hammocks are loom woven.

Heh. Now I want to make hammocks, and I have no earthly reason to... :)
