Diaw a circle within a circle, or an oval within an into sixteenths or thirty-seconds, according to at the points where the radii cut the circles andnumber as in figure. Soak a No. i reed until very pliable. (Ex. XXXIX.)Diaw the end of the reed through i, leaving 12 inchesof the reed on the back side of the frame. Bring the reedacross to 17, through 17, on to 18; up through 18, acrossto 2, throngh 2, and on to 3 ; up through 3 and across to in this manner until the frame is strung with thereed. Use the ending of the reed weaving in and out,along the large circle on the back of the frame. Use thebeginning of the reed weaving in and out, along the smallcircle on the back of the Weave with two strands of raffia at the same time—onestrand going over the reed—the other strand going underthe same reed. Contrasting colors make efifective new strands as dictated in Exercise XXI. W^eave close to the outer edge and break away the strawboard. EXERCISE XL. Continuous Coil Basket. Soak a No. 2 reed in hot water until pliable. Dampenedraffia makes the work more even and smoother. Thread the needle with the large end of the raffia. Scrape the reed, with a knife, 1/2 inches from the endfinishing with a sharp point. Hold the reed in the left hand and wind the thread, care-fully around the scraped portion. Wind toward the the covered end into a round coil and sew firmlythrough the center until the coil is securely fastened. Seethat the coil is well covered with raffia. Run eight or ten threads of raffia along with the reed. Wind the thread over the reed, working from the needle through to the front, by pushing
