I also have some raffia. I need a simple pattern and instructions. I've never made a basket before.
I like this photo at About.com because it looks simple? I have experience with Leslie Shepherd's tutorials and so far I'm not too impressed. Maybe someone else has an idea?
This is the second part of Leslie's tutorial. Not so simple.
If anyone has made a beginner's basket, please let me know how you did it. I just want something simple that I can use to hold logs next to my fireplace. Nothing fancy. Easy?
I've heard that basket weaving is one of those skills we were supposed to learn somewhere along the way. Guess I missed that class. Come on Casey, help me out here!
Sweet Dreams!

Kathi, there are several different basket weaving tutorials on my blog. Look under "baskets" in the labels section on the left. One similar to what you are doing is on "The Fourth Basket" and the one above that. Everything is backwards in blogland.
That is very intereseting ... I'd never make it!
