My onion basket waited for its rim, while I was busy doing other things, but I decided to finish it so it can be used. Besides, I really like the size and texture of this one!
Inside, you can see how the extra filler pieces were split and tucked in before the sides were woven.
Coming soon another giveaway.......

Very classy-what did you use for the weft-it looks very textured and not smooth! You did a nice job and aren't you glad you finished it?!
The “weft” (weavers) is a mix of sea grass and a thin round reed that is “smoked” to a light brown color, which is very close to the sea grass color. They are twined and woven at the same time, so they end up making vertical columns up the stakes of the basket. I made it from a purchased onion basket pattern, although I have seen other baskets called onion baskets which are quite diferent.
I love your baskets.
Thank you!
