Here's how Georgia's Version of the Daisy Basket worked out.
We cut the base out of an old Kandinsky art calendar
(Russian abstract expressionist painter); then used the deep navy chunky yarn I had lying around; and we finished it off by sewing a strip of black paper around the outside of the top edge.
Georgia likes to do everything 'together', a very intensive format where she and I break up all the steps into small bits, and she does all the small bits that she can do, and I assist. And sometimes, if the project isn't going fast enough for her, then she'll ask me (or I'll offer) to do a bunch quickly. In this case, she insisted on doing all the weaving while I held & turned the basket base & adjusted the tension. She did a few stitches on the top edge but generally found the needle too hard to push through the needle holes I had pre-made, so was happy to let me finish it off quickly so she could enjoy the results.
