1: Wonderful Weaving Techniques
Being a gift basket expert and recommender of finished baskets, I decided to explore the basket making side of the industry.
For me, the book provided good understanding of completed basket styles to treasure or give as presents, whether empty or filled with a collection of gifts.
It's always helpful when a book starts by introducing you to the tools and supplies required to create these wonderful vessels, which is what you'll find at the beginning.
The photographs encourage you to try each technique. Some baskets are made in one color while others are crafted in a variety of hues.
I was drawn to the Traditional Egg Basket with its tight, center weave that creates an elevated midsection and the Market Basket in multiple colors, topped with a short handle.
I'm glad to learn through other reviews that previous books by this author are worth a look. Meanwhile, I'll continue to be inspired by the 43 projects in this book.

2: disappointed
I was a bit disappointed with this book. I was excited to see a new book by this author and hoped to see new patterns, but most of these are in her previous books. However, in this book she includes skill levels which are helpful.

3: Great basket making book
This book came highly recommended by my basket instructor. The directions are clear and accurate, the baskets vary from easy to advanced, and the techniques are illustrated with clear and accurate photos and drawings. This is the basket book to have!

4: Big Disappointment
I read the previous review and decidid to buy the book anyway. The previous reviewer was absolutely correct -- nothing new here. I believe readers would be better served with Lyn Siler's two previous books.

5: DISAPPOINTMENT
I was disappointed in the book not because it didn't have good information but because there doesn't seem to be anything really new from her. I've seen most of these patterns in her other books. I guess I thought there would be more new patterns in this one.
