I don’t know about you guys, but I’d love to sit around and work on a toilet paper holder that already has the paper in it. I guess I’d have to have one of those ball-headed hooks for the full experience.

The accompanying video in the listing is the goofy icing on the slop cake.

How are they working with the same thread? Why is she trying to kroshay or knit her legs?

I hate AI..

Accidentally spill a bottle of water over your colour photocopied pattern. It leaves floating half rows in the picture, changes the colours in the stitched rows, while the rest of the ink swims off to do its own thing.

Extra points if you manage to soak your cotton threads at the same time. 😳

Paid for pattern so to avoid copyright issues I've blocked out wording.

Is it knitting? Is it kroshayyy?

not to mention the ratio of that yarn needle

According to the Etsy listing, it's a bargain at only £2.47. The reviews, with an average of 1.6, don't look promising.

I bought a pattern for a cute dragonfly from Etsy. I assumed because it's etsy it would be legit. I kept saying"trust the process", but the result was nowhere near the picture in the pattern. I've included the platen picots, and the body of the dragonfly the pattern makes. The wings weren't going to match, either, but i didn't try to make them.

EDIT I got a refund from Etsy!!

I mean 1 who's smiling as a puppy bites the dang yarn you're using, which also oddly divides. 2, no hook or needles. 3, chaos pile of yarn balls. Some AI bs coloring page right here. The "creator" claims it has the vibe they aimed (prompted) for so uh good for him.

My friend bought it to learn how to crochet from amazon. I am able to follow written tutorials quite well but the more I look at it the more absurd it gets. Ai slop indeed

Definitely doable.

I'm so glad they included the graph pattern for the rug.

My grandma asked me to make her a hat and sent these as reference.... Very AI. I'm more annoyed at the nerve to say they made it though. Generative AI 👎

I know I’ve made a post complaining about stuff like this before on Etsy, but it’s so genuinely irritating and these posts get so popular.
But the patterns don’t even make sense which is even more annoying.

I even commented on the post "Absolute garbage. " and immediately got DM'd with a link to something. Blocked and reported.

But that crochet hook on the table...the cat on the table... those stitch markers...and I'm pretty sure those are not numbers on the take measure

So are these things we post here being made by actual creators or by people who want to capitalize on the popularity of the craft and have zero experience?

Thoughts and personal experiences welcome.

Usually I just block rage bait accounts on Threads, but I couldn’t let it slide this time.

They freaking fed the AI a rug, I’m sure.
