November Guild Weave


The Central Pennsylvania  Basket Weavers Guild held its final monthly weave day at Gravel Hill.  Member Pamela Wilson lead the workshop.   Members could choose between two different round reed baskets.

I choose to make the basket above.  The Japanese inspired basket is woven  with #3 round reed.  It features a Rjinko base and a circle of eight Josephine knots.  A rim of #8 round reed is attached with a series of three rod wale rows.
