Weaving Fence

I'm trying to figure out a knitting analogy for weaving or splicing fence. There probably is one, but I'm not a sufficiently skilled knitter yet to explain it. Therefore, I will fall back on a weaving analogy. Imagine you have woven two panels and cut the warp from the loom. Now, you're task is to join the panels by tying the warp ends together. The knots need strong enough that you can put the joined piece back on the loom and under tension again. The tool you are to use in all this is a size J crochet hook -- on closely woven lace-weight yarn. Now, do this all without reaching to the back side of the piece.

Oh, and instead of thread, use a stiff wire with sharp, pointy, ends.

I've got the first two rolls of wire spliced and in place, ready to stretch. There are three more rolls I can put in place, but I don't know how hard it will be to stretch the wire if I splice everything in advance. I might have help stretching wire this weekend, so it would be nice to have all the splices finished. On the other hand, each roll of wire weighs something over 100 pounds, so I don't want to splice on more weight than I can handle.
