Rim Detail
Basket #3
This was my first attempt at making a basket from scratch, from a pattern called "Amy's Basket". I'm starting to notice a trend that getting the basket started is the easy part! Things got a little scary near the end; I had my first try at trimming down the stakes as I neared the top (to keep the vertical spacing somewhat more consistent), so that was pretty intimidating. It went okay for the most part, but some of the lashing around the top didn't come out too evenly because there just wasn't enough room to pull the lasher through. This shot captures the best example of lashing work on this basket. I learned some great new techniques!
Despite my tribulations, it is a very nice, sturdy basket, suited well for carrying any number of items from point A to B.
Dimensions: 8" x 8" x 8" (12", including the handle)
