Can you explain what you mean by pine needles. I know them as the short
(about half inch long) round green leaves which are each side of the central
stem (rather like the hairs on a feather), and form a brown acidic carpet
when they fall from the trees. Your baskets are clearly not made from
those - I'd like to see anyone who could.

Dear Jean,
Evergreens are a very shifty lot.  The species with short furry needles are 
generally fir trees (oddly enough!)  In the U.S. there are many different 
pine trees, some with individual needles from 6 to 12 inches long.  It is 
entirely possible to coil baskets from them.  Sort of the same difference 
in fiber as cotton and linen.  Extra long cotton is about 4 inches 
long.  Extra long flax can be 36 inches.

Lacers,
I will be in Stuttgart Germany this month.  I was wondering if anyone
can tell me where to find lace or linens there.  I read that the Zweigart
factory is in the area.  Do they have an outlet store?  Which brings to mind
that I need a metric conversion chart, I forgot last time.

My email address has changed if anyone wishes to take note.

Thank you,

 Well, someone did suggest combining my wire lace with the pine needle
 baskets.  I have done it.  I created a basket that is embellished with the
wire.

 At the bottom the page is the new basket called Broken Crown.

 Thanks for the suggestion.  It had been rolling round in the back of my
head
 ever since it was mentioned.  What do you think?

 Dianna, they are all lovely, but the broken crown is a gem.  You are too
clever.

Diana, super design!
I love the asymmetrical 'surprise' where the lace crown breaks, to flow
down
the side of the basket.
Well done.
