Daily Basketmaker's Quote

I have been on Susi Nuss's BasketMakers site before but I never noticed her "Daily Page". Among other interesting stuff there is a "Daily Tip" and a "Daily Basketmaker's Quote". How fun is that?

HERE is the link and here is the Quote and Tip for December 30, 2008.....

Quote.....

Even if you've never seen a forest carpeted with fragrant pine needle clusters, let alone created a basket from natural materials, you'll quickly discover that you don't need the patience of Job or the hands of a surgeon to make a basket worth boasting about. (Judy Mofield Mallow)
Tip...
To add a weaver when doing a continuous weave, end your existing weaver on the outside of a stake. Count back four stakes (spokes) including the stake you ended on, and place the new weaver over the existing weaver. Weave both pieces together until the old weaver end and then continue weaving with the added weaver.
