It’s that time of year, it’s starting to get colder and we all want to restock the wood pile.

I finished this basket today in preparation for the Master crafts fair in Botesdale on 3rd December. It will be on sale there along with other baskets! The fair plays host to a wide range of crafts people and is held in the village hall.

The basket is made from white and buff willow. The bottom section of weaving is a double French rand which I rather like doing. French randing is fab for growing the sides quite quickly.
