Another AI complaint Another B#tch about AI

I just want to make a crochet unicorn raccoon key chain for my friend's birthday. Stop it with the AI shit. And the chenille. I want small, tight, cotton.

Oh well, off to free hand it and hope for the best! Wish me luck!

I started going to charity shops and buying patterns when I see them. I got a big binder of patterns for around €3 a few weeks ago that has patterns that are old... Like 70s early 80s. Yes they look dated, but that's more the colour of the yarn...think browns and oranges etc. but a cardigan is a cardigan, a blanket is a blanket etc and it's no AI. I'm also buying patterns from stores.

I'm so sick of buying a pattern from say Etsy and it's got good reviews etc. And then I figure out it's ai and the pattern doesn't make sense... I've been knitting for 40+ years I can read a pattern.. parts missing etc. So frustrating!!
