Take a spin through our analysis of Robert Frost's Mending Wall or William Cullen Bryant's poem Thanatopsis. Remember: blank verse isn't just for poetry. Be sure to check out blank verse in some of Shakespeare's plays, too, like The Tempest.
Next, make a loose knot in the end of the braid and weave it in all out through the outer meshes of the net. Then undo the loose knot, thread the braid through the outside hole of the bar at the other end of the hammock, and make a tight overhand knot to hold it in place. Repeat this process on the other side.
Should you wish to make and/or design your own hammock we hope the following introductory instructions will be helpful. At the end of this tour (bottom of page) you'll also find reference to the only book we know of on the subject of hammock making: Hammock : How to Make Your Own and Lie in It. 1. Obtain the rope. We produce most of our own rope on twisting machines from various yarns.
