I found this kit at a thrift store for $.75 and finally made it. It’s older, geared toward the Boy Scout basketry merit badge, and made from dyed rattan. My version is a little wonky and the rim is a little different, but I was happily surprised by the directions and how closely mine matches the picture. And it holds my last project (obsession), crocheted strawberries, nicely too.

Had a few lengths of clothes line cut for another project, and felt like playing around with some Turks heads with the extra. I also learned a two-stranded crown knot in the process. (Nothing inside the knots except the green one which has its joining knot buried in the middle.)
