Dare I Say "Basket Weaving"?

My kids just cringed when I told them I was going to learn to make this basket in a "basket weaving" class.  Something about senior citizen centers was mumbled.  One had no comment.  Personally I think this "Spinner's Basket" is not just your basic basket.  Spinning friend, Peggy, has arranged for her friend, Nancy, to teach about ten of us how to make this beauty.  We will be in her backyard today twisting and  turning wet reads to make our own.  I am definitely taking the Canon SLR  to document this adventure.  It could be hilarious.
