Watch her three-part series for in-depth instructions:
-    • Burdock & Bramble Coil Basket: part one Â
-    • Burdock & Bramble Coil Basket: part two Â
-    • Prehistoric Nettle Textiles, scraping... Â
The only thing I did differently was the use of a elderberry tube as a gauge instead of brass, otherwise I followed her recipe pretty closely.
I plan to use the baskets (so far I made two of them and I still have a lot of fibers left) to sort and store my flint flakes, as they tend to get lost easily.

Excellent demonstration. There are many cordage demonstrations on YouTube, but that's the first weaving I've seen. Now I want to try.

You just gave me insight into something we find in museums. There are the bones with a hole in them that are called "spear shaft straighteners" or "arrow wrenches" and it seems hard to visualize how those tools could help much in that task. Hands and knees would be effective enough and the wrench would have to be removed whenever you wanted to sight down the shaft. A 5/16" box end wrench can bend a willow hoop 1/2" thick into a 9" circle for underneath the head of a conga drum but not easily. They might be like your ferrule you use for getting your core size right and they are basketry tools.

Useful for gathering small items such as berries or nuts! I imagine it can be scaled up for a bigger basket with enough time and energy?

an easier way to stitch it is to have the tail (the straggly ends) facing to the LEFT so that wrapping is easier rather than having to try to wrap around all those loose tails. you're welcome :-)
