pine needle basket book in the works

Every time I teach a pine needle basket workshop I had out a pamphlet of instructions so my students can make a basket without me...
My classes are hands on so the instructions are not directly referred to in class.
I learned from y favorite pine needle basket books, which I always share with the class.
Through the years my instructions have been revised at least a dozen times as I develop my own
techniques.
A few day ago with the help of my husband, I decided to begin a book, passing on my techniques.
Now that I have put this out to the world, I am bound to do it!
