Hi All,
My understanding of a Josephine knot is both halves of a square knot with a
single strand "space" inbetween.
That sounds more like a picot - a Josephine knot is a ring made up of
stitches which are either the first half of a double stitch or the
second half - not both as in a normal ring - makes for a very tiny ring.
(Easy to do, wordy to describe!)
I bought a long shuttle a long time ago with a view to trying Filet Lace,
looks like fishing net with filling stitches similar to what I have seen in
other styles of lace books. Have yet to try, maybe with purpose created
"netting" purchased from a specialist shop.
We used netting "needles" at college - look like a rod with a tuning
fork at either end - you need something thinner than a shuttle if you
are aiming for a fine mesh.
