get netted.
I always like learning something new, and in stopping by Sachi Designs, I learned about a technique called netting I’d never heard of before. But it turns out some amazing accessories!
It’s really neat stuff! It almost looks like open crochet or knitting, but it’s got its own flair!
According to Lisa’s Etsy profile, this is what she says about netting:
Netting is a centuries old art created by tying knots over a mesh stick. It is so old its origin is unknown and it is not credited to any one country of origin. Netted objects have been found in countries all over the world each with their own distinctive techniques.
She goes on to say that she learned netting from her grandmother and is keeping the tradition alive. A big thumbs-up to that.
Each piece in Lisa’s shop is one of a kind and takes an incredible amount of work. The results, though, are stunning and well worth the look!

Looks amazing – and interesting considering it’s history! I may have to “google” it!

January 20th, 2009 at 4:07 pmThank you all for your interest. For those of you who have asked about learning this technique there are some links on my blog

However, to my knowledge there are no up-to-date patterns in print. Currently I am working on an instructional DVD and a book with more modern patterns.
Hopefully I’ll be announcing it’s completion in a few months.
