Knotted Wax Linen Basket 2
Just about have my knotted basket completed. I got to the top of my styrofoam form, dug it out and knotted up a few more rows. I finished off the edge with a row using a thicker core. Now I just need to figure out what I want to do with all the tails of my knotting threads. I have some ideas, but need to do some experimenting before I start cutting anything.

I love this piece. How thick is the cord?
ReplyDeleteI believe it was 7 ply, I used to use only 4 ply, but have started using heavier thread.

ReplyDeleteDo you know of a tutorial on how to do the knot please
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any tutorials or really any books that describe using this technique for three-dimensional forms. It is basically a macrame knot, single- and double-half hitches around a continuous core. Sorry I can't be of more help.
DeleteHow do you decrease as you narrow the basket toward the top?
ReplyDeleteI will take two adjacent threads and make my knot with both of them together for two rows. Then I will cut one of the threads out and continue knotting with just the thread remaining.
