Hi Karen If you catch the end of the thread of our knitted tubes it unravels like any other knitting. By cutting on the diagonal the ends of the thread, hopefully, entangle each other and are less likely to undo. I like the idea of the garlic mesh - hope you wash them well!

But I love the finger bandage idea - much neater. I can't understand, though, why you would need to cut it on the diagonal for it to unravel? For the smaller ones, I love Hugo's Magic Tape which was once mentioned over here.
