Best instructor for weaving.😊
Thank you Jacki! I found your sweater playlist, what a great collection of pattern tutorials. Thanks for putting that together.
Your videos are so helpful! You are very good at keeping the instructions clear and easy to follow.
Thank you!
Best instructions I've seen
Thanks!
This is the tutorial I needed for the bean pot basket! Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
Very clear, thank you.
Böylesini ilk kez görüyorum... Çok teşekkürler...
You're welcome!
Gracias.

I love that you went through step by step. I'm having trouble finding a video about the walls of the basket, am I just missing it or is it not up yet?
Thanks for watching! I have not done a basket walls video yet. It will be coming soon.
Hey love your Videos! where do you purchase your round reed? And what size round reed is that your using?
Hi Kamaria!
Thanks for watching! I would suggest purchasing from Basket Makers Catalog online. Www.basketmakerscatalog.com/ps/101-round-reed-by-the-pound
Happy weaving!
Is there a video on completing the sides?
I offer a full video course on this basket. You can find the link for it in the description under: Bean Pot Basket Video Course.
UA-cam is full of twining videos but I can't find a single one that helps with finishing the ends. Any suggestions out there?
If you are twining a round base like this video then I usually cut them on the stake where I began. So the stake that I looped my twining over is the same stake I cut the ends on, leaving the tails sitting on top of the stakes. Once the walls are woven the twining ends sit in the basket and are held securely.
I hope that helps.
Is there a part 2 with the finished product?
I don't have a tutorial for the bean pot basket on the YT channel.
I teach this basket as a course and in my Basket of the Month Club

How do you work out how much material you need for a basket of a certain size?
Here's a video I made on designing baskets and reading basket patterns, I hope this helps.

I have made a couple of very small round baskets. I bought a basket that I wanted to replicate, and I did, but mine doesn’t sit flat like the one I bought does, they lean because of the spokes. How do you get them to be flat so it sits right?
I love that you are able to replicate something you see, thats a great skill, I enjoy doing it myself. Typically when weaving round baskets I've found that getting the basket wet, just so that its damp and then placing it bottom up and putting a heavy book on top helps it to form the flat base you are hoping for. Allowing the basket to dry in that position will train the spokes to do what you want. The key is damp reed, when it's damp you can make adjustments to the shape without breaking anything.
@@TextileIndie thanks for your advice, I’m going to try it! I have learned so much by watching your videos, do more PLEASE!
How many flat reeds did you use at the beginning? How many the second time?
Hi Poliana, it's built with an even number of stakes. I believe this one had 6 each time, but I don't quite remember. The same concept works if you experiment with the number of stakes you want.
What do you use to fix them at the centre?
The stakes a lose until I start twining. The spoke weight holds them down while I begin weaving.
Is that #3 round reed?
Yes it is.
