Tote Baskets

If you are looking for a basket to hold a heavy weight, be easy to carry, and be used for many purposes, this is it.

Straps will be chosen to match the basket.

The Tate Lake Tote is purse size. 5x10x7.5h $36.00

The Tall Tale Tote is the most popular with shoulder length handles. It's big enough for a purse, lunch, water bottle and knitting projects, everything you need for the day. 7.5x13.9h $39.00

The Tofte Tote is a bigger size for library books, produce from the farmers' market, or even a picnic watermelon. 9x15x10h $48.00

The Superior Tote is, like the lake, really, really big. If you add the optional wooden top it becomes a storage bin and low table. This makes a great magazine holder or secret yarn stash. 13x20x13h $59.00

The Superior Tote with Top $78.00

Gitchi Gami Bike Basket

This basket was inspired by the new "Gitchi Gami" bike trail running along the North Shore from Duluth to the Canadian border. Not yet completed, there are sections done and they are wonderful. I knew I needed a basket for groceries, to hold my knitting, or to carry a picnic to Temperance State Park.

I've sized it for a mountain/pleasure bike. For a road bike, measure the distance from the top of your front wheel to the top of your handle bars. Guaranteed to fit or your money back. Gitchi Gami Bike Basket 6 1/2x11x11.

If you need a different size, please call 218-663-7557.

One of a Kind Basket

I think I have two very different sides to my personality. One is the practical side and the other is the dreamy, "what if" side. These two sides are clearly illustrated in my basket making. The trick is maintaining a balance.

On one side I have what I call my bread and butter baskets-called this because they literally buy me my bread and butter. They serve a very practical purpose and follow the "form follows function" theory.

My "what if" baskets come from looking at something and wondering if it could be used in creating a basket. Lately, I've been drawn to Lake Superior and to using as materials the gifts of the Lake-rocks and driftwood.

These two sides also show up in my knitting. The practical-knitting hats, sweaters and other useful things. But I also like experimenting with color shapes, using beads and whatever.

In the northernmost part of Minnesota where winter goes on and on, I begin to feel color starved. So I started knitting brightly colored flowers. This year I've been working on Easter eggs and jelly beans. My son, Trevor, who knits practical things, rolls his eyes and I know he's thinking why... He's young yet. He'll understand someday.
