[Nfb-krafters-korner] coiled baskets and trivets

[Susan Roe]

The cloth strips are easy to use and you can also use ribbon as well.  I 
have taught two coil basket weaving classes here, the first like Terrence is 
describing and the second using the same technique, but using twisted paper 
for the core and folded paper strips instead of the yarn.

Trivits are done the same way the bottoms of the baskets are started.
