Weaving the larger basket and lid was a piece of cake compared to these interior baskets! I tell people that the entire process took nearly 2 years. Why? My patience working with the fine carriage cane and slipping of materials.
The inside tray lifts up and out to expose a large area for my mending pile. It also provides a place to hide and forget my mending!
I use this basket. My grandmother Rachel’s pincushion rests in the tray, my great grandmothers silk threads have a place of honor on the ivory spool holders.
