Once in Germany, many years ago now, I was invited to learn how to make a basket. I jumped at the chance. So did Elizabeth. We had a deadline that day as I needed to get to the bank since I was meeting my older sister in London the next day. Fun birthday that year. Well, we got started and honestly, this was so much fun! It felt like the basket was taking shape on its own in my hands. I have not ever found another place to make baskets and I am not confident enough to do it on my own. By the way, Elizabeth did NOT enjoy the basket making process. This may be why I knit and make baskets and she goes to Ohio State to get a PhD. But I use this basket every day on my desk to hold correspondence that needs to be answered. Today, it got emptied and sorted and I looked at it and thought, oh yeah! I MADE THAT!
