I don't believe crocheting was ever used for fishing nets. It really doesn't make a lot of sense for that use. A big problem with crochet is that it's made with a single strand of yarn and if you pull the end, it will unravel. There's a lot of useful knots for mending nets. I'd really need to see a reference to believe crochet has ever been a preferred method. I googled granny squares in reference to furniture and can't find anything about that either. I can't pretend to know anything about furniture making though.
