Wow, this has taken some work - like an hour a day for 2 months! But, my 9 x 9 pine needle basket is finally done. Next, I plan to weave a long shoulder strap out of pine needles, too, to make a basket for harvesting herbs. I'll make some to sell later this year.

Wonderful! What type of pine needles did you use?

Thanks!  It is mostly loblolly with some long leaf mixed in.  I just rake it up together and try to toss out the white pine as I go because it is so short. My stitching technique still needs work, but I made this one for myself so it doesn't have to be perfect.
