- Long ago every one knew how to make baskets. They cut rods. They stuck three at each corner and four standards and two at each standard. Then they weave the rods. That is how every one used to make baskets. Paddy Farrell used to make a lot of them and sell them for four or five shillings a pair.
People used to make a lot of them long ago but no one makes them now.
