Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Casey has several basket tutorials on her blog. Check them out if you're wanting to learn different techniques.
I also copied the link that Sylvia and Deni suggested and thought I would share it here.
This is a photo of the kind of basket I would like to make someday! These are not for a beginner I'm sure!

Here's a very helpful article about basket weaving. The ones I'm interested in are coiled baskets. They seem to be the easiest to make? Woven baskets are nice too.
Here is a basket I found at a yard sale. It is made of tree bark. I used to have tons of baskets in my home, but I found that they are real dust collectors so I got rid of all but my favorites.

I love the simplicity of this basket. Also that it was made from found materials. I'm sure it is quite old. I like that too!
I just found a basket weaver's blog this morning. Nancy Jacobs at Basketmaster's Weaving shares tons of information, videos and photos.
Being the dreamer and NOT the doer here, I just thought I would share these links in case anyone else is thinking about making some baskets. I hope you find them helpful!
Blessings,
Kathi

Hi Kathi,
