While we were in Portugal. Avery and I signed up for a basket making class. I wasn't sure how the 7 year old would do, but she's pretty crafty. Little did I know how she would take to it. With very little assistance. She observed and followed. Periodically she would need me to hold onto something because her hands weren't big enough. I was very impressed.
I had forgotten that I really enjoy basket making. My Mother use to do it years ago and my friend Patti also used to do basket making, so I do have a little experience, but it's been years. I also forgot how much your fingers hurt from pinching and pushing the reed around, but the results in a few short hours are great.
So, I discovered that I can weave, although I am not a weaver. I like making baskets, but I will not become a basket maker. My daughter on the other hand may!

You can use these baskets to show off your yarn stash...
What lovely little baskets. Funny, basket making is something I have never hankered to try. I agree with Diane, they would be fabulous to show off yarns. Or hold one of those small and portable projects.
