Title: Day one of ghillie making
Post by: wisconsinteacher on February 10, 2010, 10:22:00 AM
Well I got my mesh pinned to the pull over coat and started to tie it on.  I got the boarder of the back done and a little on the shoulder.  Man there are a lot of knots to tie.  My goal is to get the mesh on the coat in the next week.  I am planning on putting in 1-2 hours a day.  I am going on every intersection on the boarder and then every other one in the middle of the coat.  I hope putting jute on goes faster.

Take your time and don't get frustrated.  I gave up on mine after a couple of days, then about a month later went back to it.
  I found it went a little quicker by just using one color at a time.  Oh yeah, and don't put any on the left chest and bow arm untill the end.  I had to go back and cut a bunch off those areas.
Take your time....and good luck.

I have not started with the jute yet, I am just getting the netting on the coat.  If I get sick of it, I will put it way for a day or two.  I have until August to finish it.
