Flo Hoppe has used excellent illustrations and easy-to-read directions so any novice can be making beautiful round reed baskets in no time!! She is the "queen" of making and teaching round reed techniques. This book has many beautiful baskets and she takes you from the most basic basket on to very advanced ones. As a teacher I would be lost without this book. I have had State Fair winning baskets that my 4-H students have picked from this book! Flo has a 2nd book that is even better for the advanced weaver!! Get it now, you will not be dissapointed.
