Spiny finish An extension of this idea is used for finishing off the ends of sewn beer-strainers. The twined foundation strands that remain after the narrowing byknotting inside, are brought up in front and over the sewing strand and putthrough to come out below it on the outside. As several rows are necessary toend off all the strands, the effect is of a spiny cone (110b, Fig. 75A, B, F).Sometimes this method of finishing is also used on flat plaited grass braceletsand necklets and on brooms, and it was seen on one twilled beer-strainer. Some-times, instead of a cone, the spiny finishings make a narrow band (HOe, HOf,Fig. 75C, D). BASKETWORK OF SOUTHERN AFRICA 141.
