Andrew,

I don't know if this is of any help, but I remember that my younger
sister used to knit small-diameter "tubes" using yarn and a tin can
with the bottom cut out and 4 popsicle sticks taped to the outside at
equal distances, sticking up vertically over the rim of the can. She
could make these tubes as long as she wanted. I think that if you used
rope instead of yarn and a bucket instead of a can, you could make
similar tubes for your fenders. As for the actual technique -- maybe
you could ask a friend's daughter or granddaughter. :-)

Has anyone else ever tried to, or heard of using crochet techniques for
fenders? Do you think it would work and still look nice?
