Bountiful Garden Basket
I was hoping to finish this basket before posting a picture, but it looks like it may be a few days, so I thought I'd show you my Bountiful Garden Basket in progress. It took quite a while to wrestle the rim into place, and it's still not as nice as I'd hoped, but it's now held in place with lots of zip ties, which I'll cut away as I bind the rim in place.

Beautiful! Mom and I made heart baskets today-my hands had quite a workout-unlike their usual knitting maneuvers! Thanks for the inspiration-your weaving is incredible!

You made this by yourself? what is this made of? this is so beautiful.
Delighted Hands, Thank you for the compliment! This basket rim has been the most difficult of all those I've made, because it required so much strength to bend it as much as I did. For a while, I didn't think it would ever make it down to the second side of the basket and my hands needed a rest at this point.
Tree Service, thank you for the compliment! The basket is made of basket making reed made by splitting wood (not sure what species). I purchased it from basket making suppliers along with the pattern.
