Skipped Stitch Looping
Donna Kallner
Learn a looping variation that uses
grouped and stitched stitches to create
beautiful patterns. This project is worked
in wool yarn over a bar of soap (a “lost
mold”) to make a shower scrubber. With
use the yarn will felt. When the soap is
used up, cut an end off and you’ll have a
small felt bag. Or you can insert a new bar
of soap, stitch the end back on and put it
back in your shower.

Ply-Split “Waffle” Basket
Linda Hendrickson
I have a lovely old tuffet my grandmother
made from recycled juice cans, nylons, and
fabric. I have loved it and used it since I was
a child. I find that I am much more
comfortable when weaving if I use a
footstool to take the pressure off of my
lower back. I finally decided to make one of
my own that speaks to my weaving passion.
This is a great introduction to seat weaving;
the techniques can be applied to full sized
chairs and rockers. Materials: flat reed and
oak frame.
Tools: Basic basket tools, stapler, flat
awl.
Dimensions: 8”(inc. frame) by 12” by 9”
Material Fee: $32
All Weaving Levels
Drilling, assembling parts – gluing and using
various tools. Once assembled, twining and
other weaves will be used – seagrass, cedar,

Tools: Ear plugs, eye protection, scissors,
pruners, awl, packing tool, tape measure,
pencil, spray bottle, box cutter. Bring a
drill if you have one.
Dimensions: 10-12” by 9” by 4”
Material Fee: $15
Weaving Level: Intermediate
Learn how to make Linda’s unique design for a
ply-split basket with a “waffle” appearance,
with one color dominant on one side of the
bowl, and the other color dominant on the
reverse. The basket is ply-split using 2-ply, 2color cords. The bottom and sides are worked
in POT (plain oblique twining) with a full twist
between the splitting. A long 2-ply, 2-color cord
is used to create a striped rim. Use the skills in
this class later, in a larger size, to make a really
cute garden hat!
Tools: scissors, knitting needle, size 8 or
smaller. Optional: yarn or other linear
elements to try cordmaking with a 4-hook
twister.
