Cottage Curtains

I decided alongtime ago that my cottage has a light problem, and decided to knit some curtains that would give me more light. I used cotton, recycled wool, green and blue, and wrapped them around the window, I wanted a fishing net look, re I live on the edge of a Lough and a fishing village here in Donegal
