That is correct,  if you do it during a chain you get a neat continuous twist 
to the chain.

shoulds like something I need to look into.. will have to find these 
instructions also..

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!)

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.
