Please give a gal a hand with your tips!
I didn't buy the pattern a friend showed me how to make it. After you get the bottom width you want, you have to pull the wrapped cord tight to get it to start curling up to form the basket. I do tht for several rows and push the cords together to make sure there isn't a gap between the rows.
I'm making another one now and it is turning out soooo much better! I think because I am making it smaller (hopefully a purse this time :lol: )
I really don't have any tips as this is only my 2nd one.
