:D Hi Every one!

I'm working on a balearic sling for a friend. And I like to crochet.  I love string!

Peanut says Hi too!

Hello and welcome StarLight :)

Thanks everybody!

Thats cool! I was wondering if i could knit or crochet a sling.

Its #6 green C1 bonded nylon from alariobros.com.  I'm not strong enough to make nets anymore :'(, so I have a bunch of diff size string leftover to play with  ::)  I haven't slung in a long time. But, i'm getting stronger from making this sling  :D. Maybe, I can sling again one day. Thats my goal anyways haha.  At the least, I think i'll just keep making slings, cuz it seems to be good for me  ;)

Wishing you all lots of fun with your slings!

Wow thanks!

OMG My fingers and shoulders were hurting so bad today, so I'm now using a carabiner attached to a foot strap to tighten the braid. Its wayyy easier now, I have more control, and can watch the braid as it tightens too.  The carabiner forms a quick friction hitch, which i kinda madeup :D. I weave while sitting in a chair, so this new setup allows me to weave more material before having to shift the work up. :)

I also started over because i got alot better at spinning the fiber half way through the project, and the top half was looking raggedy haha. But, I'm about to weave the knee again soooo Woooohooo!

Can't wait to show you all soon when I'm done, and sling a tennis ball at my fence 8-) but lightly so i dont hurt myself  ;)

I’m not as good as I should be with intros, but here’s my belated Welcome! Can’t wait to see what you come up with StarLight. As for Peanut he certainly looks like a fearsome and worthy slinger. He’s welcome as well.  ;)
