What is the purpose for undoing every other clew?
I was experimenting with optimum/minimum/maximum number of nettles, tension, and testing methods of reducing scalloping effect.
Thank you! I was a little worried that mine looked off without weight in it, but looks pretty close to your setup.
Thanks again for a brilliant setup! For my first attempt at anything DIY involving fabric and buttons, I'm satisfied with my results. I was a little worried with the 1/32 cord, but it works great.

You are very welcome. Looking forward to seeing pictures.
This is my second Leiavoia gemini quilt system using bbandb throws. Clew is a bit short for this large hammock, but still fits pretty well. I've lengthened the clew on another Gemini set and noticed minor improvements. On second build, I appreciate this Gemini setup even more.

This was my first DIY hammock project, and while I made a couple of goods along the way, I'm still very happy with the results. Here are my two completed pieces. For whatever reason, I made orange my foot end and green my head end.
On the Pullox, you'll notice two extra loops I put on the sides. I'm using this with a HH, so I wanted a way for the Gemini to attach to the pullouts and keep spread open. Like on the clew ends, I used a piece of grossgain to created a loop and attached wth the KAM snaps on the edge of the blanket. I set the snaps so the were on each side of the triangle pullout fabric of the HH. The widths give enough room for adjustment, but is precise enough to reduce the fiddle factor. I then created an adjustable loop using gutted 550 cord. The tie-outs simply run through the loop deforestation staking out. You'll notice the loop for the foot are at the end of the blanket, while the head end loop is closer to my shoulder, this still leave plenty of room to still provide insulation under my head.
I also added snaps to Castor at these same locations to keep it in line for shoulder season mode.
Here are the Shoulder and Winter setups.
Using the loops for the tie outs helps reduce fiddling and adjustments when using in Winter mode as well.
Thanks, Leiavoia, for a great design!

Good looking stuff, TxAggie!

Hey Aggie, how come nothing is maroon?? I'm working on a purple and gold hammock, Geaux Tigers.
Looks like I need to get a CAM SNAP kit and go to work on the quilts I already have. Congratulations on a very clever design leiavoia. I love this forum because there are so many clever people sharing their smarts. On second thought, I need a couple more quilts of a different color so I can tell the twins apart.
My first attempt, didn't want to risk messing up a great color.
