I've finally gotten some bamboo scarves woven, about two years after I planned (hey, biz was good without it, so I guess that's good). Here are a few of the new ones:

The bamboo is pretty, for sure, but where it really shines is in how it feels - super soft and slinky like silk
- and drapes. Wow!
For fun at the end of the warp, I tried (in the righthand scarf) a fairly straightforward overshot pattern (that's just weaverese for cloth that has a simple fundamental structure overlaid with fancy patterns):

I say "fairly straightforward" because even though I'm good at this, I erred once, as you can probably see. Maybe the error in the pattern is actually a design plus. I'm sure it is for people who believe symmetry must be disrupted to avoid the appearance of evil spirits.

I can't see the error, but I'm not good at "I Spy," either.
I'll be watching for the guy wearing the scarf that wards off evil
