Just wanted to let you know The Basket Makers Catalog (www.basketmakerscatalog.com) has some good sales on supplies right now. There are also free directions to make about 8 different baskets, with varying skill levels. I'm going to give the "Swing Your Partner" a try, it looks like a good challenge.
Also there are free directions for several different types of chair seat weaving. (Wasn't someone asking about that recently?) FYI girls they have great customer service.

What made me think of it was I am teaching 1st year boyscouts how to weave a stool and make two baskets and the bug has bit me again too!
I would love to learn how to do the Nantucket baskets but the kits with molds are a little too pricey for me! I think they also rent them monthly though...oh no! Another project in the making!

Oh Bramble...you are opening up a whole new thing for me. I have wanted to weave baskets of my own forever. I LOVE baskets!! Always have. Especially wood splint, willow and handmade ones. I would love to make the gizzard shaped egg basket. Maybe after Christmas. I have done a couple small baskets over the years with cubscouts and have always wanted to REALLY get into basket weaving.
