Description
"A food basket, 7 inches in diameter by 5 inches high, with spokes alternating with solidly woven stripes. Mrs. Reeves was a middle-aged Indian, very busy raising a family. She did not make tightly woven baskets because she was so busy. In fact, she always said that her baskets were not good baskets because they were too "lacy"."There are 14 rows of 8 stitches per inch.
