Made my tarp. 12’ ridgeline, reinforced with grosgrain. Membrane silpoly. 3” deep cat cuts. 14” beaks, I think. Works really well.
Made a few hammocks, but really just for lounging. Made a bag for hanging food.
I also made a pretty nice wool cap on a knitting loom. It takes some time at first but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty easy. I used 4 weight yarn (worsted weight) and made the hat fairly large. I then boiled, agitated, and cooled the wool repeatedly, causing the fibers to bind together and form a dense fabric (felt; the process is called felting or fulling). This causes the garment to shrink, and the gaps between stitches to close. It was a really nice hat, but one of my togs tore it up. I just started another yesterday.
