Aoife had it. She had a spa/hair/nails day. I tried to clean the blanket destruction and cut blanket pieces out of her butt. Not enough scratches.

The annoying, rarely shown side of weaving. The threads will catch everything, including itself. If there is anything in its path - edge of table, cup, shuttle, loom - it will get caught.

There's something about hem stitch my left handed brain cannot get. I watched at least 6 videos, swear at all of them being shit in their own special ways. Then think I get it and hate it as it tedious. Later on, forget how to do it and repeat the cycle.

How it started... (fucked up and missed a slot)... how it is going.
I would like to thank chatgpt for doing the weaving math. I wouldn't attempt weaving again without it. And I gave it "i got 175g of sugar cream, 7.5 dent" and it told me how much to warp.

My angora rabbit Lucien has no object permanence. It is medicine time, and he is hiding under his bed. He is stunned that I can find him. He has never solved those intelligence toys that hide treats.
My other 2 rabbits do not have this issue.

I put my tea mug down for a minute, and Lucien jumps over, misses, and gets his foot in it. Back into bunny jail.

I just tie another leader and start spinning the next project. Don't even need the leader, I just use it to be very obvious it is a new project. That's easier than this bobbin. www.printables.com/model/132426...

If spinning a cotton ball is not difficult enough, try spinning it using a ball and some rubber bands.

Lucien got into the tissue box. It must have blown his mind. He was strangely defensive over them, too, and wouldn't let me clean up his mess.

My first project on my new Majacraft Aura! Corespun Merino silk slub yarn. Spun the singles at the Whidbey Weavers Spin In, and finished plying at my Airbnb for the weekend.

My Lucien is so vain. It is impossible to photo his right side, which is shaved with stitches on his jaw after the last rabbit dentist visit.
He is more angry I didn't get him a blue donut, as that is his colour.

I have a new spinning wheel! My 7th wheel, Majacraft Aura! Joins my Majacraft Pioneer. So far, there has been a lot of fiddling with the double drive tension and trying to get the highest ratio possible on the high-speed head.

What I like about working at a yarn/fiber shop is when people come in and look relieved to see me. Usually it's fixing crochet, picking colours, or spinning disasters.

I swear every time I sell a fiber prep tool (blending board, combs, hand cards) I accidentally cut my finger in the process.

I'm not doing Spin Together or Spindy500 this year, but spinning in support. Banged out some of that @316dyestudio.bsky.social cotton. This colourway is so much fun! Spun on my Daedalus Falcon. @daedalusspinners.bsky.social
