Subj: Merry Christmas from Peggy
Date: 12/11/1999 18:23:00 PM Mountain Standard Time
Here is my Christmas present to you all!
I made up this pattern to use up my 3 by 10 inch D handle and it makes a quick Christmas Napkin Holder. If the picture is too dark just hit the sun to brighten it up in the aol picture file. Remember I don't write patterns so I hope this is enough to help make this. Any questions just email me.
Instructions::
1 10 by 3 D handle
4 18" 1/2 f/f reed stakes
6 15" 1/2 f/f reed stakes
Put the 4 long spokes under ,over ,under ,over the handle then put 3 of the 15 inch stakes on each side of the handle.
Ok this is the base. I didn't but you can twine around the base if you want to. Upset spokes. Here are the rows the way I did them. It is all done in flat reed.
1 row 3/8 green
2 rows 1/4 green
1 row 3/8 natural
3 rows 11/64 cranberry
1 row 3/8 natural
2 rows 1/4 green
1 row 3/8 green
1/4 inch false rim natural and tuck spokes into weaving
wrap handle with 1/4 inch f/f reed and braided cane. I use the
instructions in The Basket Book by Lynn Syler on page 139.
Rim with 1/2 f/o, use sea grass for filler. Done !!!
Put in christmas napkins standing up. They look pretty as a decoration even.
Hope you all have a happy holiday season. Love Peggy and Davey
