The Weekend Crafter: Basketry...

This book was purchased used and arrived in excellent shape especially for a paper back book.

Excellent book

This book has very precise instructions which the beginning weaver can easily follow. The pictures are large and very well presented. The author takes the weaver thru each step as it occurs-for example,gathering the needed materials,measuring and cutting the material,and finally each step in the weaving process as it occurs. The decorative accents that are either woven in or added after the basket is completed are easily accomplished and add to the appeal of the basket. I wish the author had included names of suppliers for the reeds,seagrass etc. Although we are intermediate weavers,everyone in our group ordered the book simply because of the way it was written and illustrated.
