May Your Life Be Like A Basket...Useful...Bountiful...Beautiful...

Basketmaster's Weavings is about my passions, much of which revolves around basket weaving. I weave with reed and I love teaching others to weave. Many of the patterns and styles that I show in the blog are geared to the beginning weaver, or even the brand new weaver. If you have been thinking about wanting to learn to weave, then this blog is for you. Throughout the blog and videos I take you step by step through each and every process of weaving. I want you to be successful in weaving the very first time you try. For the intermediate and advanced weaver, my wish is that you take ideas that I show, mix them up a bit, and incorporate them into your own beautiful creations.

Happy Weaving and Baskets of Blessings to all my visitors,

Nancy

Share a Basket Sunday - Mini Muffin Basket


Dear Friends,
I wanted to show you my Mini Muffin Basket once again.  I demonstrate this basket in my YouTube videos and take you through it step by step in how to weave it.  Just go to my YouTube channel and follow right along!  I call this a Mini Muffin Basket because it is just the right size to hold 6 mini muffins or 2 large muffins.  You could also put a large muffin and a small bag of coffee in it.

Get you weaving supplies ready. You will need the following:
  • 5/8" flat reed
  • 3/8" flat reed
  • 1/4" flat reed
  • #3 round reed
That's it! Only four sizes needed for this sweet basket.
As always, if you would like to view any of my baskets, you can visit my YouTube channel at

Basket Weaving Video #19b - How to Splice a Handle Wrap and Finish Wrapping


Hi Basket Weaving Friends,

In today's video we finish the handle wrapping and I show you how to splice a wrap. I really try hard to get a piece of reed long enough to do the entire handle, but sometimes that just doesn't happen so here is how to splice it. Also, be sure to get creative when wrapping your handles. I just showed you one example, but you can do any design you like. If you have some pictures of wrapped handles, leave me a comment and I will link to you so others can see your baskets as well!

Be sure to visit my YouTube channel for all my videos HERE.

Happy Weaving,

Nancy

New YouTube Basket Weaving Video #13--Lets Weave a Round Berry Basket!



In this video we will be weaving a round berry basket with integrated handle. This video starts explaining the base and how to twine a round base. You can also view it, and my other videos on my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/basketmasternancy

I have to say one more thing. I know that the sound and the picture are not in sync with each other and it drives me nuts, but I have no clue what to do to prevent it. If any of you could tell me, I would be so appreciative. So for now, just look at my hands and the reed and not my mouth as you listen.

Enjoy and Happy Weaving.

Nancy
