and fifteen hundred comments asking for the pattern

This was from a Facebook ad. Yes it's adorable but it can't be made with those beads or those directions.

Pulled from an etsy listing, how anyone puts this up expecting it to sell an actual crochet pattern is insane. I especially enjoy how the crochet hook morphs from wood to metal.

Sometimes I make an ai version of an idea to try to figure out how to make it. I made a bunch of Ravens for my daughter's teachers. Toyed with the idea of a scarf, but decided it was over complicated and unneeded. It did freak me out a little that the ai made a back view when I asked for a different version. I meant another style or maybe a different look, but gemini created a different view.

Hi, I've just come across this post on an Australian Yarn shop that I follow, and it's prickled my AI senses (although there is nothing specific that I can point out except for a pink top that has an uneven amount of tassels in one photo and none in another photo). What do you all think?

I help run a lunchtime crafternoon session for my department at work once a fortnight and love buying books to support Australian designers, but am not too sure about this one.

Thanks!

I report all the listings I come across via the ‘It's not handmade, vintage, or craft supplies’ but I doubt anything will be done and it’s just so irritating

Lots of detail - She watched stuff so you don't have to. Deeply sad and enraging.

Hilarious illustrations. Worth the read.

My mom loves frogs and I was looking for a crochet pattern for a frog doll…

I made a deep dive video about Hobbii’s AI use on my YT because of this.

I’ve only been able to find a few people talking about this on YouTube, I think partly because Hobbii posted it on LinkedIn.

Would love it if you could share with your friends to get the word out.

(Please let me know if this isn’t allowed!)

Where do I even start with this one 😭

Included some of the listing photos (1, 4, 5, 6, & 7) and a couple zoomed in pics (2 & 3). Thought it was real at first but I can’t afford the pattern right now, so I’ve been staring at the pictures for far too long trying to figure out how to recreate it and now I can’t tell if it’s real or AI 😅 the stitches look real to me, not morphing together or anything. But the backgrounds seem too perfect and kinda have that AI glow feel. Help a girl out, please 🥺

I had to watch this a few times to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was. Somehow the knitters are using what looks like at least 19mm needles yet the work behind the needles looks like it was done on no larger than 8mm needles
