Weaving a couple of garlic baskets is a first for Go Wild With Weaving. Make two different sorts of cane baskets, ready to hang on the wall and fill with garlic or shallots. Great for presents too. Weave with Nicola Basham on 11/12 April in Collingwood, Golden Bay.

After Christmas lunch, Bruce and I finished off the big Chicken Carrying Basket, getting it ready to send to The Film Production Co up in Auckland. I finished off the weaving, the lid and the ties- it’s a big one! 80cm high for carrying two or three chickens. Bruce created its circular travelling box. Great teamwork.
