Okay, I have to admit that I’ve been taking a lot of photos with my phone lately, as evidenced by the fact that my bike basket hasn’t been documented with my camera. These are all Instagram shots.
I started weaving the basket last month, and then I became freaked out by the directions. I put it aside for a long time. Weaving fever just sort of took over and I finished it last weekend. I have no clue what I was doing with the rim; I just made something up as I futzed with the smoked reed spokes. Today, I stained it with a tea bath. Overall, I am happy with the basket.
Next, I am weaving a bag as well as working on my shawl. And, of course, spending plenty of time in the garden.
absolutely amazing basket!You have a natural talent for weaving
It’s one awesome bike basket! How cool that you can make something like that on your own, I’m so impressed. It must be hard work, but the result is stunning. And camera phones are great!
What a terrific bike basket. The bike looks pretty good too. I’ve been thinking about getting a bike. DH rides one all the time and everywhere. I’m afraid I will need training wheels on mine it has been so many years since I’ve been on one.

Sweet! I remember having a (plastic) bike basket as a kid. Now I want one!
