Flo Hoppe has used excellent illustrations and easy-to-read directions so any novice can be making beautiful round reed baskets in no time!! She is the "queen" of making and teaching round reed techniques. This book has many beautiful baskets and she takes you from the most basic basket on to very advanced ones. As a teacher I would be lost without this book. I have had State Fair winning baskets that my 4-H students have picked from this book! Flo has a 2nd book that is even better for the advanced weaver!! Get it now, you will not be dissapointed.

I love this book. I recently enrolled into my third basket weaving class and my instructor recommended this book to me. If you are interested in basket weaving I know that you will enjoy owning this book. It has examples of many different weave patterns to incorporate into your basket. I have referred to this book many times when I want to do something new or I am trying to remember how to do a particular weave that I have done in the past. I highly recommend this book and this author. Thank you, KT

The book is full of detailed information covering tools, weaving materials, and designs. The various designs are well illustrated at each step in the process. I found the instructions in the book very easy to follow and appreciate that the author takes you through a series of baskets beginning with a small basic basket and continuing on through many baskets--each successive one offering new lessons in design techniques and ending in a large complicated baskets. An improvement would be more color photos.

Easily followed instructions and techniques. Exceptional for a variety of border patterns! Rare to find in other basket books
