Review on Optimized Cape Cod Blueberry Basket Kit by Karla Richter

Average basket maker with years of experience. According to the instructions, this project is an endless fabric. The top row will NOT be flat. Wants 12 lines. 8 max. This requires the spokes to be 4 inches shorter. Also, as always, skip the soaking for at least 20 minutes. Just dip the reeds to keep them wet. 5 minutes will give you raw sticks. 20 is probably mush. I would add a 15th needle instead of dividing a corner by 2. 1/4 does not hold up well in weaving. I would also advise doing a basic bond rather than a continuous bond. Make 18 inch lengths to braid the sides (cut off excess) and not have jagged rows.
