lovely basket MC, I have a genuine 40's woven basket that I must dig out and make a cover for - it's tucked away in our spare room somewhere along with my sewing machine
.
I have just started loom knitting (like the old fashioned french knitting on a bobbin only bigger) and so far have made to cushion covers and a scarf and now half way through a poncho. I also plan to make some socks on one of the looms.
