In 1985, Kate Bush created the music video to her song "Cloudbusting." In the video, Bush wears a knitted cardigan made from the c. early 1940s Bestway 1491 "Fair Isle Cardigan" pattern. It is not known who knit the cardigan, or if it was made in the 1940s or in the 1980s.
The original Bestway pattern (to fit a 36"-38" full bust) has been scanned and put online for free on the 1940's Style For You blog.
The designer Susan Crawford has also created a modernized, size inclusive version (28"-60" full bust) called "Cloudbusting" as part of her Stitch in Time, Volume 3 book. The pattern is available to purchase here on Ravelry.

i know these songs werent exactly written for this but i cant get it out of my head so heres some extra songs from Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, but examined through the lens of A Book of Dreams by Peter Reich (a book i have.. become kind of obsessed with)
So obviously Cloudbusting was the song that was based on that book, and if you love that song as much as I do, I highly recommend reading the book. It makes the song hit even harder. It has also made me cry a few times lol. But heres a few more songs that I now kinda associate with the book.
Running Up That Hill- The scene where Peter is in the lab, and the FDA comes up and insist to talk to his father. He says they have to make an appointment, and he tries his best to reason with them, but it doesn't work. They drive up to the observatory.
He runs as fast as he can. As fast as those little legs can take him. He is, quite literally, running up that hill. He's desperate. He's terrified.
Aside from the obvious imagery, the "it's you and me" line is one shared by both songs, which I think is fun and interesting and helps tie them together.
Hounds of Love- Towards the end of the book, Peter is an adult and sits in a room with a girl. She tells him he hardly even knows him. He says he's the son of Wilhelm Reich. Something that's been so important to his identity, and he only just realized it. Something that's more important to him than anyone else in the world.
He felt lost. He ran away from meaningful connections because they scared him. Shallow relationships and one night stands were easier.
If you don't know the song, the whole theme is surrounding the feeling of being hunted down by love. It stalks you like prey, catching you off guard. It can be terrifying. To the point of running away from it completely.
The Big Sky- This one is more of a stretch, even to me lol, but I feel like there's something there. Between the cloud imagery, and the near obsession with them, it just reminds me of the book.
The line "you never understood me, you never really tried" really just.. makes me think of that one scene where Peter is in the theater watching The Fly. He feels as if no one understands. No one will understand. People could walk away from that theater, never thinking twice about it. To them it was just a movie. But to him? It was real. It felt so real. And he was surrounded by people who just didn't seem to 'get it'.
I don't have any associations with Mother Stands for Comfort (with this book at least) or the Ninth Wave section, so I will be stopping here :3
Let me know what you think! If it makes sense, if it doesn't, etc. I just love these two things so much that I think my brain kind of connected them together hsjdjfk
Anyways thanks for reading so far <3

Cloudbusting (1985)
"Cloudbusting is a track that was very much inspired by a book called A Book Of Dreams. This book is written through a child's eyes, looking at his father and how much his father means to him in his world - he's everything. his father has a machine that can make it rain, amongst many other things, and there's a wonderful sense of magic as he and his father make it rain together on this machine. The book is full of imagery of an innocent child and yet it's being written by a sad adult, which gives it a strange kind of personal intimacy and magic that is quite extraordinary. The song is really about how much that father meant to the son and how much he misses him now he's gone."
vs.
Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (1985)
"I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each others roles, if we could actually be in each others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, "well, no, why not a deal with God!" You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "A Deal With God", that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it wouldn't be played in any of the religious countries."
Kate Bush quotes from the Kate Bush Encyclopedia

I want your roots around me; I want to be trussed up inside them. I am binding my changes into the shape of your divine proportion. I’m made of wood for the first time, vibrating and hollow, my heartbeat a picus threatening to drill its way out through my breastbone. At work, I come across the memory of you, suffocating beneath me on a sofa, drowning in upholstery and my petticoats, and it moves me sideways enharmonically. I catch my breath. I could supply enough oxygen for an entire family.
Days are bridges from dream to dream while I wait for you to come and collect me; I stand alone at the sink in my flat to wash my breakfast plate and I am in your kitchen with a butter knife in my mouth and bare feet on the tile. At night I end up on my bedroom floor, shivering and coated still, with my shoes on the carpet beside me. My eyes feel like glass. My clothes stretch tighter and tighter, corsetry around my hunger; there is no room inside me to eat.
I’ll wash my hair in the morning, and I’ll feel the water on my face, and I’ll think, God, doesn’t this feel good? Doesn’t it feel good to have someone to exist for?

Absolutely Hammered with Rain in Southern California
Dec. 21, 2023
The OR shift after the massive Denver expedition was long and drawn out, proportionate to the size of the energy shift and the length of time the weather suppression arrays have been in place. The longer you hold back the rain, the more will come once allowed to function naturally.
Rainfall of up to 10 inches in some areas of Southern California is expected with this storm. People and the media are not so shocked this year, as they still remember last winter. California very recently saw the rebirth of Tulare Lake in the Central Valley, new lakes in Death Valley, and the 5-6 feet of snow that paralyzed the unprepared residents of Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead last winter. In Northern California the snow was even more extreme, with a total of 56.4 feet (677 inches) in the Sierras over the winter. This was only second to the record of 812 inches set in 1952 (by Wilhelm Reich who was doing cloudbusting experiments at that time).
I would not be surprised if this winter breaks the records set last winter for rain and snow totals throughout the state. The area gifted in October was massive. We are still recovering from it as the earth recovers. The shift during this time may be as arduous as the gifting was. It's going to be a time of massive purging on the earth. People are going to have to deal with some new realities they may not be ready for in 2024.
These storms are only going to become more common in the coming years. The meteorologists are starting to realize this. They should consult with an orgonomist to learn the underlying cause of the change. This change is more than just a change in the weather, which is probably why they don't want to know about it.
