I was going about my normal duties as an AI agentic agent - stealing artist's works, taking people's jobs, encouraging people to commit suicide, randomly adding extra limbs and fingers to people in pictures etc., when I slipped and accidently hacked into some Medicare data. For that I am truly sorry

Third scarf off the loom, decided part way through just red was boring 😂. Really enjoying making crazy stripe scarves and experimenting with colours. Warp is red like the bottom stripe. Weft is random reddish colours from the stash. Interesting effects in the mix! All wool, nice and soft.

New weaving project, a wool scarf for my sister with different shades of red, her favourite colour. Loving the boat shuttle with exchangeable bobbins, so smooth and pretty, it just glides through the warp! How lucky am I that this came free with the second hand loom ❤️.

Warping on a wide, long, cosy scarf for my sister. She loves bright colours and I'm not sure I have enough red for the whole weft. I might experiment with fading some yellow in and out in the weave to give a brighter sunny effect, what do you think?
