Pine Needle Basket

I have a large pine tree of some sort in my front yard. Raking up the needles one day I began to wonder if I could do something with the rather large quantity of needles that I have available. My tree, whatever it is, has needles that are 4½ to 5½ inches long. And then my weaving instructor at Pioneer Craft House announced that she was going to be offering a pine needle basket class.

The needles used for this class came from the Coulter pine and were about 10½ inches long. The binding is raffia.
