Double border.

I had left some willow soaking over a couple of weeks, but happily I discovered it was still in good shape. I decided to test my skill progress by returning to Jon Ridgeon’s First Basket from the first chapter of his book. I made it faster than the two I made earlier from this design and was pleased with the weave and that I managed to keep the circle shape. When I finished the 4-behind-1 border, I didn’t want to cut off the still nice long soft ends. I liked learning from my Latvian log basket that you can weave a second border around the side of the first, so I turned this basket upside down and did the same pattern as the first border. An extra flare on the top of an otherwise simple basket.
