How to make baskets . Fig. Fig. 10. pressed with the forefinger, under and over thespokes, as close to the work as it is possible to getit. The spokes should be very evenly separated—this is something that the beginner cannot be toocareful about, as upon it so much of the symmetryand strength of his baskets will depend. It may. MATS AND THEIR BORDERS AND THE SIMPLEST BASK] rS MATS AND THEIR BORDERS 23 help him to think of the regular spaces between thespokes of a wheel and how much trouble one badlyplaced spoke would make. When there is justenough weaver left to go around once, the bindingoff is begun. This is a process much like over-casting. After going under one spoke and overanother, the weaver is passed under the last row ofweaving just before it reaches the next spoke, itthen goes behind that spoke, in front of the nextand under the last row of weaving before the nextspoke. When a row of this binding is completed,the mat is finished with Open Border No* U—After cutting the spokesto a uniform length with a slanting cut (so thatthe point may be easily pushed down between theweavers), the spokes should be held in water for afew minutes. When quite pliable, spoke No. i ispushed down beside spoke No. 2, No. 2 beside , and so on around the mat, taking care that atleast an inch is pressed below the edge
