I was weaving the underside, there is a piece you can make on the underside of lids that can make them fit better. Soaking what is already woven can also be used to "massage" or shape the basket a bit- a basket that looks more oval can be soaked and made more equally round/ make a lid flatter/ etc

Had a personal class yesterday, going to move forward with hosting larger classes. Started this during the class and worked on it a bit when I got home #basketry
