It has the added benefit of kind-of-obscuring the view for nosey neigbors while still letting the light in. (I left the blinds in because my neighbors are extra-nosey.)
You'll need:
Reasonably sturdy hardware cloth about one third to half as wide as your window is high--I used two-foot wide quarter inch mesh
Four sturdy hooks, eyes, or some other relatively heavy duty fasteners
EITHER one additional fastener per foot of window OR a staple gun and staples
Enough S-hooks to hold the stuff you need held
A drill

You shouldn't need to measure the height, as the rack should only extend about halfway down, leaving you room to open and close the window--and for cleaning, if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm so glad I found your instructable. Just the idea of using the hardware cloth has so much potential all over the house. I'm gonna give you 5 stars, once I figure out how to do that . . .
Some other ideas would be to just have individual horizontal strings, you could even put some "individual flare" more than 14 pieces are required. Such as my friend H. Heurippa http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5080298.stm
You could even have a primitive abbacus up there to count the number of times your neighbour has been perving on you. Maybe even fridge magnet letters spelling "uoy kcuf"
