[edit] New article

Some of this text was moved from an older version of chain stitch where it was combined with the chain stitch sewing stitch. I have separated them. This is also discussed under daisy chain which I have linked here. A Google search suggests that "daisy chain" is a more common name than "chain stitch".

A sailor or other expert on knots and ropes is encouraged to expand and correct this. Please! - PKM 22:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe you were right to split the articles. As far as this article's title goes, the term chain sinnet is probably the least ambiguous and appears to be the common/traditional name. Unless there are objections, I propose the article be moved there. Incidentally, there's actually a whole chapter in ABOK on these; the one currently described in the article is only the most basic form. Chain sinnets are structurally more akin to knitting or crocheting than they are to knots per se, but they usually seem to be classed as knots in that they are described in knot books rather than as some sort of textile art. In fact, spool knitting is actually used to form some of the more complex sinnets. --Dfred (talk) 12:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I moved the article to Chain sinnet and did some cleanup. --Dfred (talk) 21:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
