We apologize, but after the book was printed we discovered some errors.

PRINT THIS PAGE AND ADD IT TO YOUR BOOK

NOTE: if you have purchased an electronic version of "A Basketmaker's Odyssey..."

these additions and corrections discribed below have already been changed.

ABENAKI STYLE KNITTING BASKET

Page 11: Base size is Approx. 8 1/2” in diameter (the book says 6")

Page 12: Diagrams 1,2, & 4 show the” donut hole” instead of the 5” solid base.

AMISH TRAY

Page 14: Unfortunately we did not say how to upsett the sides of this basket.Try to round them

up gradually without making a sharp crease at the base of the stake. If this is too difficult,

make a crease. It is not a bad thing. The corners of the tray have to be sharply upsett.

Also a source for brown ash, prepared and ready to weave is Gratiot Lake Basketry,

in Gratiot Lake Michigan. www.gratiotlakebasketry.com

ASHLEY'S BERRY BASKET SCARF

Page 21: The material list calls for two skeins of yarn. That is based each skein having 215 yds.

CONFETTI TWILL

Page 38: The 26 stakes should be cut 24" long.

ON THE CONTRARY

Page 68: The stakes should be very heavy and the weavers should be of medium weight,

as is the normal practice.

PLAID OF MANY COLORS

Page 77: The graph has an error, row one, the first stroke should be "Over One", not over two as shown. See corrected graph below.

__________________________________________________________________________

SPIRALING DOUBLE WALL

Page 97: HOW EMBARASSING! I can't believe it, but we left out a sentence.

Just after "See Diagram 7", it should say, "Cut one of the 7 mm stakes off

flush with the base weaving, making the total 55 stakes".

Thus a continuous weave is possible.
