    About this course and kit

    We're delighted to announce that our square log basket course and kit has finally arrived! In this unique course and kit, expert weaver Mollie McMillen will take you through the entire square basketmaking process. You'll learn to make a square base, how to put on uprights, how to weave an English rand on the sides and how to lay a square border - including a special technique for weaving square corners. Finally you'll learn to make traditional twisted handles, which are very strong and
    look fantastic.

    The course includes more that 3.5 hours of expert
    instruction and all the materials you need will be delivered to your door. The final basket measures 20 inches long by 14 inches wide - the perfect size for logs, picnics or using for storage. Check out the trailer above.
