basketweaving
Weaving with reeds
Basketweaving is the craft of interlacing flexible materials—reeds, willow, grasses—to create baskets and other woven objects.
The term appears dismissively for easy or frivolous academic courses: underwater basketweaving is the classic example of a worthless class.
On internet forums, basketweaving sometimes serves as a placeholder for any hobby or niche interest: a Mongolian basketweaving forum.
