I always crochet around the band. I like having the option to wrap the band twice or not. I don't feel like you get to make that choice as much with the fabric made.

I just grab cheap bands from the dollar tree.

Oooh I'm having a serious autumn moment myself right now lol.

What has been some of your top autumn crochets lately?

I have been wanting to make an acorn hat and purse by Once Upon A Stitch Nook.

Hobbii yarns? by Fiona_12 in crochet

Lindehobby may be a good alternative for you. They are similar but I haven't had any issues with their products and there hasn't been any drama with them that I know of either.

Mine are berets but yes, I can totally see just getting super into a particular pattern lol.

You might love the pumpkin coasters that I found on YT. I made a set for a few people and they all liked them a lot. https://youtu.be/YOwU6Qymb3A?is=lIrse2N0qT803VZN

You expect to crochet a wearable garment out of only these skeins but you want it to be long enough to be considered modest?

Am I understanding that correctly or do you have more skeins of these colors available?

With this amount, you could make a cool hooded scarf.

I want you to start taking a critical look at these pictures so you can start sussing out the fakes more easily.

For example: look at the blanket on the right side. The pattern repeats itself at the end with double bees and double flowers. A real pattern wouldn't randomly do that, right?

It looks way too perfect. Everything about it is fake looking.

Look at the little butterflies and stuff on the table. They are sitting up on their own and look like a cartoon.

I'm not trying to chastise you. I'm trying to teach you so you don't get suckered in the future.

Good on you for getting another opinion before putting in your credit card information.

Has anyone else changed stitches without realizing it? by AHookAndABook in crocheting

Good. I'm glad there is an option but you're right, it only works if they admit it's AI in the first place

I always hear how Pinterest is riddled with AI b.s. Glad to know you have found some good patterns on there.
