etahi kete nui

Its raining again but we spent a luvly morning sitting in the sunshine
and weaving on our group project:
*etahi kete nui / some large basket *( working name only)
We took some time to set the basic lines by aligning the first finished
rolls.
As traditional , some flax had been gathered before the rain and allowed
about 6 of us to keep on weaving -
It was a pleasure to notice how the patterns and colours of many styles
are already creating such a multi-people feeling.
It will take a while…
