Recently my buddy Marianne (of Newneedlepoint.com fame) asked me to look at a copy of a rare booklet by Katherine Ireys about basketweave called Diagonal Tent Stitch. I had never seen this 1974 book before and found it fascinating. I won't repeat what I said (just read the link below) except to repeat if you are interested in better technique in basketweave or are a left handed stitcher who wants to master basketweave, this book and Davie Hyman's Diagonal Basketweave are books you should get your hands on whenever you see a copy. They are classics.
