braided cord
When I'm not 'working' I relax with a piece of stitching that is entirely Basketweave. I love it, no thinking, just stitching. The above piece is a Kelly Clark design I picked up recently...changing the colors up to suit my personality. I'm anxious to have it finished into a purse and realized I would need a proper strap.
So today my wonderful friend Corliss sat me down on her beautiful porch and taught me this technique. Which I proceeded to screw up several times. This is something you can't talk and do when first learning. The above being my first try, it may be too thin ... so I may have to make two and twist them.
