That rang a bell, so I jumped up and examined the pine-needle baskets and
hot mats my grandmother made.  Sure enough, all but one begin with a
needle-lace spider worked in raffia, and that one is so sharply different in
style that I suspect that the bought it or received it as a gift.  

I don't think I could tat raffia.  On the other hand, I could sew a
pine-needle basket with linen . . .
