Nice video, but I could not learn basket weaving from it.

I’ve never actually tried basket weaving, I honestly think I would end up weaving all my fingers together in the process lol x

I'm not trying to advertise, but I know another video that looked like a similar way to build a basket as this one, but using blackberry bramble. It's instructional and I enjoyed it so, I'm going to share it with the audience who wants a more instructional video.
