From the garden, a keepsake.
This weekend I will be sorting...what to keep and what needs a new home? What do I want to keep doing?
One thing...baskets (still working my way through the class with Harriet Goodall at Fiber Arts / Take Two.)
I shouldn't have been surprised to find out that a basket making technique called looping is the same stitch used to weave crab pots and fish nets.
This is the first time I've tried to do this at such a small gauge and I was using fairly rough twine so I had trouble keeping things a standard size. There is a second stitch that I was practicing as well that has a twist.
I want to keep practicing this... I am imagining bags and baskets for hanging plants. I think it might work for mending chair seats.
A way to keep things useful.
I also want to keep knitting...one of my favorite kinds of making.
