OTHER Do we like baskets here?

I mended this free basket with some nice wool yarn. Now it can hide the multitude of Legos invading my home post Christmas!

This is especially wonderful because I remember reading that baskets cannot be machine made. You're repairing someone else's handiwork!

The weaving is unique on baskets and worth repairing. They are beautiful handwork. But some can be sewn, if your machine can handle it. This one was sewn like a jelly roll with zigzag, and Mexican rope.
