NOTE: To add another length of thread, knot the ends of the old and new threads together next to a coil so that the knot may be hidden by pushing it below the surface of the coil with the blunt end of the needle. To make a larger basket, use a larger bundle of pine needles and increase the diameter of the base and the height of the sides.
