Advarsel. Dette er Uglemor, der leger, ikke en undervisning i at lave temari. Hvis du bare vil lege, så læs roligt videre. Men hvis du vil vide, hvordan man gør det rigtigt, så gå til de professionelle her.

Disclaimer. This is MotherOwl playing, not a temari how-to and MotherOwl is not a temari-teacher. If you want to play along, then go on. If you want to know how this is really done, go here!
Uglemor begyndte her:

MotherOwl began here:

Og hvis nu ikke man har et får i nærheden, så begynd her:

Well, if you have no sheep, you can begin here:
|
Tag en stor håndfuld, te-mari betyder jo hånd-kugle, og kram det lidt, ligesom når man laver en snebold. Pas på, der ikke er nåle i - AV!

Grab a big handful, the meaning of te-mari is hand-ball. Clean it up by doing as if making a snowball. Be sure there's no hidden needles or pins here - OUCH!

Then MotherOwl dives into her yarn barrel, coming up again with those ugly, acrylic yarns that were a gift long time ago. Now is the chance to use them. different yarns wanted here :)
|
Tag det tykkeste garn og vikl rundt om fyldet på må og få. Hvis man har vundet meget garn i hånden er det svært. Der må ikke være system i vindingerne. Et konstant, ikke nødvendigvis hårdt træk, er det, Uglemor koncentrerer sig om her. Ind i mellem bliver den rullet som en snebold igen.
Et godt råd. Når du taber kuglen, så giv slip! Hvis man prøver at fange den eller holder i garnet, trævles der bare mere op.

Start by winding the thickest of the yarns around the ball. If you have been winding many balls of yarn by hand, you're at a disadvantage here, as the winding must be randomized. A constant, not strong, but constant tension is MotherOwl's primal concern. From time to time she rolls the ball as if still making a snowball.Another piece of advice. When you drop the ball, let go! Trying to catch it just unravels more.
|
Når man ikke længere kan se fyldet, eller der ikke er mere af det tykkeste garn (neongrønt), skifter Uglemor til nummeret tyndere - her det blevet blåt. Her er Uglemors tommelfingerregel, at hvis hun er i tvivl om hun har viklet nok garn på, så er det ikke nok!

When the stuffing no longer can be seen - or the thickest yarn (green) is used up, whatever happens first, it's time for the thinner one, in this case blue, not pink. MotherOwl's golden rule is, if you're in doubt whether you can see anything of the old layer then you can! Wrap some more.

Third layer. Those fluffy yarns are perfect here. They almost grow together.Og sidste lag. Sytråd! Jeps tynd sytråd. Det i cones er det bedste, så står den stabilt medens Uglemor vikler. Og så skal det helst ikke være for god kvalitet, den der irriterende tråd, der slides og knækker i symaskinen, er allerbedst til temari☺Så filter det let og danner en bedre overflade. Der skal vikles længe! Er Uglemor i tvivl om det gule kan ses, så kan det ses, vikl videre!

Last layer is sewing thread! Cheap serger thread in cones is the very best. The cone stands still while MotherOwl is wrapping, and the cheap, piling thread that's a nuisance in the sewing machine is the very best for temari winding. A win-win situation. MotherOwl searches the second hand shops for cones of cheap thread. Er vi ikke snart færdige? Are we there yet? |

Og så kommer vi til det punkt, hvor Uglemor snyder.

And now to the point where MotherOwl is cheating.
|
- o 0 o -
When the outer layer is done, you're supposed to just secure the end by cutting it off and pulling through. MotherOwl leaves a tail that can make it around the temari 3-4 times, and then she sews random stitches all over the surface to fasten the last threads of the outer layer. It will see lots of handling in the coming days, and MotherOwl's rough fingers have more than once dislocated several strands og thread. So cheating happens.
