You did good on all of it   Love the weave  and the border patterns , they really stand out . 

Well done  

Do you mind if I try the weave pattern?  Just courtesy to ask.

Thank you  Please do by all means, I am having a hard time finding the video of where I learned it or it would be posted. Cut the lines, low angle beveler, Lined (heel to toe} thumbprint at a very low angle over where you used the beveler. A 902 to create deeper cracks, and finally a swivel knife for finer cracks. Also as I have heard said "stamp deep", first one I didn't to this degree and it is noticeable.  Definitely helps this pattern stand out, and the back is taped with painters tape to control stretch.

This is my method and tools used, very close to the video.

 

It is fun to do and at this point not as common as traditional basket weave.

Those are really fine work. The BW is very good and the flat rope border goes nicely with it. The pen holder is a cool design, too. All around a nice set. Very good work.
