Ethernet wire baskets are good mobile projects for the car or travel!
We went camping for a few days to spend time with my daughter and her boyfriend’s family. It was so relaxing to weave a basket during the long car ride and then by the campfire. The break from home gave me a chance too to explore more technique variations with wire baskets.

I wasn’t crazy about the gap around the square start or the messy square itself.

But after the base was woven, I removed the square start to reveal and interesting pattern.

I used the same technique as before to twist French randing weavers up the stakes: Minimizes sharp end sticking out and strengthens the stakes.

I didn’t add waling, so my twist-up-the-stakes introduction of weavers created a lot of space along the edge of the base.

But by flaring the sides out as I randed, the gap closed in and created a nice footer rim.
