Louisa Keyser: The "Unfinished Basket"

Louisa Keyser was certainly the best basket weaver of all time. On her large degikups she was doing from 30 to 34 stitches per inch. Her “Unfinished Basket” was maybe 12-13” in diameter. I didn’t have a large piece of maple so I did it in 4 pieces and it is 10 ½” in diameter and 9 ¾” high with an average of 29 stitches per inch. I have approximately over 100,000 stitches.
