Question To weave wicker
I'd take that in Spanish you could say "tejer mimbre" for "weaving wicker"...

However I think in Spain it would be a better collocation "entretejer mimbre" or "entrelazar el mimbre"...

What would be the best translation in your view?

I guess I need mainly Spanish natives... but any English speaker can give me his/her as well.

Gracias, Malila...
Una vez que lo he mirado un poco, en España parece que también...

(Creo que me quedé con la idea de que lo que en España decimos "hacer punto" o "tricotar"... en México creo que se dice más "tejer"... Pero el "mimbre" parece que también lo tejemos...)

Y esto me recuerda muchas cosas... pero eso son otros temas... En alto vive, en alto mora, teje que teje la tejedora...
