Well Worth it's Modest Price,
By PaulaB (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rib Baskets (Paperback)
This book started my basketry library. It jumps right in by listing the tools and materials you will need and then goes on to describe the 4 basic parts of a rib basket: hoops, ears, ribs and weavers. General directions for making a rib basket then follow. I have many basketry books and what distinguishes this book from the others is the amount of time and space it spends on beginning a basket. In beginning a basket you are making the basket's foundation and it is where your hands can get "tongue-tied". To make this process as clear as possible the author loaded this section with photos and drawn illustrations as well as clear written instructions. After you go thru the general directions, the book describes some decorative options (i.e. "woven handle"). The remainder of the book contains individual instructions and supply lists for different types of rib baskets (i.e. Scottish Yarn Basket). Sprinkled throughout the book are color photos of completed baskets. I have been making baskets for 11 years and I still use this as a reference.

This is an excellent book and hopefully I can put it to good use. Maybe even produce some good ribbed baskets.
