Rain!

It was rainy all day. I could hear it all night, as I lay in my bed.
Now everything's dripping and drooping, and dreary and wet.
The brooks are all leaping, the rivers all run.
Every field had its water, every straw had its drink.
But there's apples still ripening and berries, I think.
So please, pretty please, can I have back the Sun!

Drivglasvæv -- Weaving with Sea Glass

    Endelig er Uglemor nået til at væve lommer med fyld af drivglas.
     Det bliver faktisk præcis som hun forestillede sig, men hold da fest, hvor går det langsomt. For hvert eneste indskud skal skellet først samles op med et vævesværd, og alligevel er der ofte fejl, der gør at flere rækker må pilles op igen, og det er svært at se i de tynde tråde. Det er entrådet uldgarn i sort og avocadokernefarvet uld. Til sammenligning er det gule drivglasstykke i midten cirka 2 cm. på hver led. Uglemor kan kun væve om dagen, når solen ikke står lige på.

Finally MotherOwl got to actually weaving pockets for sea glass.
It looks as she imagined, but my, it's slow going. Single ply black and avocado pit dyed wool, and for every weft threads have to be picked up using a pick up stick. And even with this help, errors occur frequently and have to be unravelled - almost impossible with this spider web yarn. The yellow sea glass in the middle measures approximately 2 cm across. MotherOwl is only able to weave when it's indirect daylight, and not all day long.

     Uglemors opskrifts-seddel til, hvordan man gør. En sort tråd i islæt, undtagen de to midterste indskud i lærredsvævningen mellem lommerne.

MotherOwl's loom, with a how-to note. One black thread as weft except for the two middle plain weave rows between the pockets.
