    A little help with a DIY gathered end.....

    Since I have never hung before I wanted to try my hand at making a gathered end hammock and see how it works for me. So today I made some 5' tree huggers, a few soft shackles, a couple of whoopie slings and a 118" x 65" gathered end hammock. I would have made the adjustable ridgeline, but i had previously purchased one from AHE to see what it was like. The whole kit(suspension included) weighs in at about 10.5 oz. The only problem I am having is I am not sure if the hammock was done right. There are some floppy edges to the hammock and if I don't lay in it like an asym then it doesn't lie right at all. I have attached some photos and any tweaks, suggestions or criticisms would be appreciated. Thanks
