Unfortunately more and more AI is popping up in the crochet world. More trashy AI patterns, more AI pictures of fake crocheted creations and worst of all, more misleading AI listings for crochet items/patterns in online shops. They are pushing out real artists, demotivating crafters, scamming customers and overall just flooding the scene with low-quality slop.

This is an interesting article about the rise of AI in the crochet world, and why it's important to be aware of it:

Here's also a video about how to recognize AI for all things crochet, so you can protect yourself:

Stay safe and stay creative! ❤️

Sometimes I make things because I'm intruiged with the construction. Like this sleeved shawl. I thought it might be a really cool accessory for those chilly office days. Well... Unfortunately, a sleeved shawl works not for me. It feels a bit like a straight jacket and gives me T-Rex Arms. :shrug:
Ah well, it was totally worth a try.

Pattern: Winter Waves Wrap by KnotBadBritt
Yarn: Hobbii Manaya in Teal Blue Purple Plum

I have reached the end of my skein, so it's time to break out skein number 2. I think I will do a couple more repeats and then start on the band (which will be the same darker blue as the small circle).

Another night, another finished headband. This time I learned how to crochet the wheat stitch 😄. A fellow Tedoooer shared a beanie they were making with it, and I just had to give it a try! In other news, I love using Lion Brand Truboo yarn, but crocheting with it is another matter 😜.

Making this headband has also made me realize that mv tension has loosened up quite a bit. I may have to invest in some smaller crochet hooks lol 😝.

Shoutout to Crochet by infinity for the inspo 😃!

The beanie in question for anyone that might be interested 👀. It's gorgeous!
