It seems  that I've found a partner for basket weaving!  Grandma knows
how to  make baskets, and though she didn't know the word coiling,
since English is  not her native language, she appeared to understand
when I explained  it.  But she also clearly demonstrated that she knows
the other form  of weaving with reed.  I showed her the basket that
Dorian made and  she said that they're very easy to make and that she's
willing to help me  when the weather is decent.  Sshe has chronic
rumatoid arthritis so  can't work when it's raining/snowing.  Now I'm
excited!  I've got  my own teacher right at home!  And she can read
easy things and is  very good with illustrations so can help me with a
kit etc.  She even  said that she's worked with metal!  I know that she
crocheted but she  hasn't been able to teach me thus far due to her
hands and to the fact  that, no matter what I do, I simply can't get
the hang of it.  But  she's very knowledgeable in the crafts department
so is bound to show me  something else of interest.  For instance,
every time we play  dominoes, she creates beautiful pictures with the
pieces.  I've never  seen anyone else do that and am amazed each time.
I remember, one time, I  won and was disappointed because she couldn't
finish the picture!  *smile*

The happy  one,
Eleni
