Weaving Country Baskets

I was surprised there was only two basket patterns in there to make. I was expecting more.

Love these little books they are perfect to throw in your purse and look at when you are sitting in a doctor's office or a waiting room somewhere. Highly informative and fun

I love the information I never knew how baskets were made

This little book really has helped me. It has clear directions and illustations,and it's easy to understand. This is exactly what I was looking for to refresh my memory about making baskets after so many years. Plus, there is a list of suppliers in the back of the book. If you are interested in basket making and looking at the other books, throw this one in with the other books, at this price, it's a great value. The other books give great history and old photos of basketmaking, but this one is just a "how-to" book.

I can’t do this, but it looks very easy to understand if I ever did

It's my own fault. I thought the book would have more patterns. The ones it has are explained very well and I do like it.

this has been a great book as i have begun weaving once again after many years. it has provided the instructions for things i had forgotten and some coll patterns to get started. i would recommend this book to anyone wishing for a hobby with beautiful, useful results

I spent $3.95 for a book on basket weaving that is next to useless for a beginner. it has no specific directive content.It is a sorry peice of work for sure. I paid $3.99 S&H to have a small paperback book shipped seperately(not my choice) when I had ordered a hardcover book at the same time that was larger and could have been put in the same package: I paid $3.00 S&H for both books. I am disgusted with Amazon.com for treating a good customer this way! Shame on you people. Customers deserve better treatment.I will not be ordering anything from this site in a hurry! Plus I got the hardcover book for $0.14!

As another reviewer writes, this is not quite as I expected, but perhaps I should have read the specs first. It is not a book, but a booklet, running to 31 pages, with some basic instructions and 2 basket projects to make. It is an American publication and this is an important point to note since it deals with baskets made from reeds, a material not used in the UK, but you can substitute it for flat, oval and round cane. It has no list of suppliers and in my researches you can find cane, but not so easily found are the accessories such as pre-formed handles and ribs. Still, there are some good instructions on technique, which is always worthwhile. Nevertheless, in the UK, while cane is used, the principle material used ius willow and the beginner might do well to look for a book on basket weaving that concentrates on the use of this material. Overall, this book is very cheap, easily read and with good instructions on weaving technique, so you won't waste money buying it, but other books from UK writers and publishers may be more useful in the first instance.

Really easy to follow instructions on several basket projects. Good illustrations to consolidate the advice.

Great service and great product. You can learn a lot from books, but when you have a company like these it make purchasing books much much easier. A big thank you to you all x

Good directions and illustrations, having seen the author in action, had to buy this and have a go. My attempt was "interesting" but enjoyed it.

Not sure its for beginers like me. Because the materials are to be couloured before starting. However, the instructions are clear with useful diagrams to explain.2 projects from start to finish with useful tips.
