Как хорошо и подробно показано начало плетения, огромное спасибо за прекрасный ролик. Здоровья вам и благодарность

[@beckybramlett3515]

I can’t leave without saying that I just love you !!! You make me laugh, cry ( sometimes), and make me want to knit, make beads,baskets, and skate !! You’re killing this old woman ( I’m 70 !) BUT I love it !!😂😂😂. Have a wonderful night,weekend, until I can see you again !!

[@chevyrell]

Aww!! Thank you for watching and diggin my style😁

[@deborahdoherty3823]

That was an informative tutorial. Now i want to make baskets..thank you.

[@TheKnittedBean]

I love all the ideas but I *especially* love when you add the history you learn to your videos. This really feeds my soul. Thank you!

[@LadyValkyri]

Who are you? Why have I never heard of you? Why do I love you already?!?! Ep 66 "WARNING..." just came up in my feed. I crochet and love all things fiber art. You are crazy and cool and funny and real. Thanks for living your best life, and for sharing it with us. Now I'm going back to E66. I'll watch this one as soon as that's over. Hugs!

[@chevyrell]

I'm Chevas! Nice to meet you😁 The universe decided now was the time😝 Welcome to the show!

[@aalovelace2776]

I wasn’t even looking to make a basket so .. not sure why I clicked on one of your video but .. your instruction is so clear and you’re so pleasant (and funny) to listen to, I stayed for it all.

[@beckybramlett3515]

I think everybody has been having trouble with their internet …..you’re not the first that’s had to re do videos . I know I’m going to enjoy this !!

[@l.m.o.8948]

Glad you tried again on your video,it was a winner. I sew and sell coiled bowls, hotpads etc , which I sew with a zigzag stitch. I love hand work and I am going to have a bowl to work on in front of the tv. I buy my cotton welting but do agree that there are a million of option for your interior you can find around your place. 🇨🇦

[@suegallo4269]

You took me back to my high school art class also ...but mine was in the early1970's! I remember the one I made was in a rust color and then I decorated the outside and lid with feathers. It was really nice but is long gone now or I would post a picture. To make the lid you make a separate piece started just like the beginning of the basket, make it to the size to fit your basket and end it normally. Then, so the lid stays on the basket, you make a last coil about 1/2 inch or so inside the bottom of the lid that acts like a lip to hold it in place. The feathers were easy to add, just cut the quills to the length you need, dip them in a little clear drying glue and insert between the coils. You can also add beads or charms too. Thanks for the memories!

[@chevyrell]

That's awesome! I've never done a lid before, but it would be easy👍

[@deborahhuss2062]

Wow Chevy, I will never look at a coil basket in the same way again. I think I have enough materials to try and make one! Great tutorial! I just can't get enough of your podcasts! Just keep being you! Love the history and reverence you give crafting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@chevyrell]

Aww! Thank you for watching!!!💜

[@LizzieStuff]

First of all, I love this video. You do a great job of explaining what to do and you also make me laugh, a lot. So thanks. Do more.

[@crystalparker5434]

Great job! I'm glad that the third time was the charm. Jim's going to wring my neck when I tell him, I need a few supplies for a new craft project. 🤗

The highlight of my Sunday night has been you Chevy and this tutorial. I didn't expect it so soon, but I've only wanted to learn how to make these for decades, so you are right on time. Thank you so much for this!

[@chevyrell]

Yay!!!!

[@GoforthandKnit]

Thank YOU!!!!! for the tutorial I will be def. be making some baskets now ... After you started making I had a " flash back" repressed memory of learning to make them!! I was "sent away LOL" to summer church camp, also the memories of all the muddy very unpaved roads, foggy drinking water and very large bugs LOL but all the arts and crafts too.. Time to make a cocktail and put them memories back in the quite place LOL

[@chevyrell]

I use to go to 4-H camp and loved all the crafts too!!! I LOVED camp 🏕 foggy drinking water 🤢 I was fine with the bugs…..it was the showers for me🤢🤢🤢🤢

[@flosimonsen8162]

[@mariapartington7910]

Your Awesome and True!!! Loved This, thank You!!!

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Thank you so much for this very fun and informative tutorial. I am excited to use up some scrap yarn in a project I think I will actually finish. I made a tiny pine needle basket in a workshop with Shuswap elders when I was working at Child and Youth Mental Health Services in the Thompson Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada, as part of cultural awareness training. It was a very similar process so I found the journal entry that you read very touching, as it points to the universality of basket making for cultures all over the world and we can be part of it too. 💕🇨🇦

[@chevyrell]

That’s sounds awesome! Cultural awareness training is something I would LOVE!

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

@@chevyrell I also experienced smudging, a pipe ceremony and a sweat lodge- absolutely amazing!

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Love your podcast. If you ever want to do another tutorial, I'd love to learn how you sew liners into bags. Great basket tutorial!

Because it will probably be a very long time before I do it again…..here is the video I followed bc I didn’t know how to do it either😝 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWmVaWeij5uHqbM

Yay. Thanks for making this.

[@annieboulton5759]

Hi Chevas. Thank you for doing this tutorial. I enjoyed your video. I will try one of these baskets. The history, wow. I would never have thought that these baskets were being made thousands and thousands of years ago. Take care and see you soon xxx

[@marsheilabetthauser9790]

Thank you so much. I love learning a new craft.

[@celestegarcia486]

Thank so much for showing how to make the coil baskets!!!! I love how they can be made with just about any thing. Am saving the video so I can refer to it when needed. I am dyslexic and never sure what direction I'm supposed to go in. This will so much fun! Thank you-thank you!!

[@lyndasmith593]

What a great tutorial! Thx

[@cdayperry2701]

Great video, you’re fun to learn from. Very much like the little dark basket not finished. I’ve been making coiled baskets with embroidery thread but like the fabric as well. Thank you 🦅🇺🇸🦅

OMG,love you measure tattoo!!! PERFECT!! I used itty bitty tapestry needles when I used to do xstitch. 😉 I need to get some cording now!! I have some old (I'm guessing) cones of carpet fiber that I found in my mom's stash when she passed, it would be so perfect for this....& You don't have to worry about it breaking... You must have scissors in both right and left handed models!! 🤣😂🤣 So happy you did this....yup, 3rd times a charm!!

I have a sweet grass basket that I've had for years. I store my makeup in it. I bought it from a stall at the side of the road on a trip I took to South Carolina back in the day. It's got a label inside telling who made it. Can't figure out how to attach a pic. You can look at it next time you're home. ❤

[@lynnmajidimehr9019]

Thank you for such a nice tutorial, and also for including the picture of the Native American basket! I've made a pine needle coiled basket several years ago, but it was wrapped differently and I have a basket I bought years ago in Cherokee, NC that the handle has come loose and am thinking your wrapping technique may help me repair it, even though I have to search for the right materials.

Hello from Mounds Illinois.

[@chevyrell]

Hello!!!

[@Linda-ku4xq]

This was just the best!! Thanks so much for the tutorial and the history lesson. I have sweet grass growing in my garden for ceremonial purposes so maybe I will try it, but I think it will be much like sock knitting with fingering weight yarn so I will have to think about the core. I know this wrapping method is also used to make beaded lanyards and keychains and we use hollow rubber tubing for the core to keep them lightweight. So. Many. Options!! Baskets for everyone this Christmas!!

[@chevyrell]

That's awesome! I would love to see your sweet grass basket! During some of my research it stated that they use "a bunching method" for the core. So maybe try that?

[@aliefranklin]

I used 6 strands of thin jute as my core and 1 strand to wrap.

[@nancysalama7563]

I have macrame yarn from my husband and besides market bags I needed something. I like this and will try it. I’m wondering what are the best yarns for this?

[@chevyrell]

You could really use anything! I would probably stay away from art yarn just b/c it is easier to have a balanced yarn to pull through.

[@romaynecarlin7764]

hiya sweetie! i'm ambidextrous too! do more tutorials. youre good at it. im guessing that if you want an oval basket you would make a longer first loop? really like the multi/white ones you have. great history info! thanks for sharing xoxo

[@chevyrell]

Ooh!! I've never tried and oval one! BRILLIANT

[@valeriemarie8044]

Would plastic tubing work for this? like the tubing from an oxygenator. Or does the center need to be solid?

[@chevyrell]

It would totally work!
