Hi Nancy...I have been interested in basket weaving for some time. I do pine needle basketry but would like to try some baskets like you make. I live in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada and do not have access to the supplies. Do you know of anyone here in the Vancouver area that I could get supplies. Also are you planning to make any more videos. I just love to watch you. Thanks, Sheila

Hi Nancy,

I've been waiting for you to finish before doing my rim. My braiding curves in, does not go up. Is this correct? I like this rim but I need to practice:) Can I substitute this rim on any basket? Thanks again - Claire

Yes, your braiding will curve into the basket. Sounds like you are doing it correctly. You can't subsitiute this rim on EVERY basket but you can on many/most baskets. If you choose to do this rim on other baskets, just twine for two rows after your top row of weaving and tuck in all the stakes and continue with the braided rim like I did in the video. I think it makes a beautiful finish. E-mail me a picture of your completed basket. I'd love to show it off on my blog and link to your blog.

Thanks Nancy. I waited until the end to do the rim. My braiding curves in, it does not go up. Is this correct? I like this rim, but I need to practice :) . Can I substitute this rim on any basket?

Thanks again!!!

Hi Nancy,

My braiding curves to the inside and not straight up. Is that correct ? I like this finish, but I need more practice :) Can I substitute this for any rim?

Thanks, Claire
