Finished the basket

Getting ready to lash the rim, this is the first time using zip ties to hold it. Much easier than clothespins!

Here is the finished basket. You can find the pattern here. While it was drying, I pinched it together in the center, so it would be narrower, and not so round. Didn't tighten the weavers enough and it bowed out quite a bit. Mine turned out shorter than the pattern,due to using narrower reed than what it calls for, but I used what was on hand and am happy with it. Also skipped the filler pieces in the bottom of the basket, someday will have to learn how to do that.....
