In case anyone wants to know how to knit I-Cords, pattern below. They are handy if you want to use toggles instead of buttons, as well as other uses. The needles I use are no. 13.
Obelixx, seeing your woven willow basket (congrats, by the way, it has a lovely rustic charm) takes me back. Mum used to do wicker work when I was a child, and I have a memory of lengths of soaked wicker hanging from the rafters in the cellar... the only willow weaving I've done, is to help maintain a woven play house on the canal bank, weaving in new shoots and cutting off anything outgrowing the space. It's good fun...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I am not very handy with needles, thread etc. but I do like flower arranging - if you can call that a craft. I am doing some Easter table decorations today. I used a SM bunch of flowers and some pickings from the garden.
