Ply-Split Cylinder Baskets
The designs in the ply-split baskets don't have the same proportions as on graph paper because of the nature of the ply-splitting technique, especially with paper cords, which exaggerates the difference in the amount of space taken up by splitters and splittees. A design with equal-width lines on graph paper will result in thick and thin lines in the basket, which I think can be more interesting. The texture is nice, too.
