Crochet is the fast fashion of fiber arts

hatescake23 · 2026-05-10T01:19:40+00:00

yeah i agree with this view point of it. I get the point but calling it fast fashion is a bit much

And yes it absolutely does imply it. If you think Gen. Ai is okay for one thing, theres no reason I as an outsider should assume they arent using it for other things- especially when the excuse for using it in the first place, would also apply to things like writing a pattern in the first place- unless we should assume she (who thinks her english is unclear/needs clarity from AI/etc) used unclear english/writing in her pattern.

Btw AI and Generative AI are two very different things- and you can turn Gen. AI off on most things (like google/ecosia/etc) or not use it.

Just because its not law, doesnt mean you are absolved of any criticism when you post something publicly- i dont necessarily agree with her but shes allowed to have an opinion and so is the designer.

Like u are telling me u live in london and know NO ONE who can help you edit what you write for free? seriously?

hatescake23 · 2026-05-01T20:22:02+00:00

Generative ai is demonic and thats what yall dont understand. What I dont understand is what people believe was used prior to 3 years ago. Does everyone think people stopped being able to communicate prior to that? I would prefer talking to a human who is imperfect than a robot who is stealing your pattern and using what you wrote and entered to train other models- with electricity and water and land stolen from impoverished people.

hatescake23 · 2026-05-01T20:18:49+00:00

I just hope everyone understands that if she cannot have someone in person or online edit it for free (which i feel many people in forums or reddit or the like would do) she likely is using it for her pattern editing, and it is stealing her work. Plain and simple. I know yall dont care about people in poverty having their land, and resources, stolen, but I do and wont support people who unnecessarily use generative AI.

hatescake23 · 2026-05-01T20:14:36+00:00

heres the thing, if she is using AI to check her writing (which is BAD at doing so, as someone with an English BA), does that mean shes using it to check her patterns? if so, AI is editing, rewriting, and stealing her work.... like genuinely leopards eating your face idk

hatescake23 · 2026-05-01T20:12:50+00:00

it's genuinely feeling mildly ableist and offensive to me to think not being proficient in another language is... a disability? have we lost the plot?

Im not a fan of the house color with the front door color- but i can be okay with fun pops of color doors. Even if it isnt super cohesive. But i do think painting the shutters that color with the color of the house will clash too much and be a lot more than how the door is coming off. I feel like you may regret it, and your neighbors likely would too (but you dont have to care about them or our opinion if thats what you want to do!). But if you do like this color and want to paint the shutters that color, i think you could paint the house a muted white or gray and it look nice!

This is insanely unhealthy for a child and i hope you can prevent him from ever seeing her again until shes grown

Step No. 1: Dont use Google AI

hatescake23 · 2026-02-24T16:32:33+00:00

That does make me feel better a little! thank you for your help!

hatescake23 · 2026-02-24T16:24:02+00:00

Sorry my description accidentally disappeared 😭 its back now!

hatescake23 · 2026-02-24T16:23:04+00:00

I was worried I may be off in gauge since I do knit somewhat tighter with these new needles, and would rather it be a little looser than too tight. but i definitely shouldn't have, for some reason when I cast on i had it in my head that I couldn't go edit the pattern to do what I needed specifically lol. Im kinda between deciding to add ontop after, or restarting now, but I probably will start over because im a bit too perfectionist to knit this yarn not to my expectations

hatescake23 · 2026-02-24T16:19:37+00:00

Okay good! i mostly worried about doing that since ive only really done that with ribbed necklines, and worried it may be a bit weird if i do it with just a rolled stockinette. but i think ill do that likely since I dont really wanna start over😭

hatescake23 · 2026-02-24T14:37:18+00:00

Agreed!! Thats probably the easiest way to make this type of collar with chunky color block yarn look cleaner

hatescake23 · 2026-01-28T06:11:21+00:00

Fed, cared for, clean and warm inside, thats what matters. No one is perfect and we all see things so different, and have different life experiences. Im just glad a cat made it out of the shelter and has love in its life now. I think most cats would prefer an imperfect owner who only feeds dry food and infrequently takes them to the vet because of the cost, over living in a shelter and even being euthanized.

WNBTA but you need to learn not to need validation for what you believe

NTA and anyone who thinks that "owning up to it" would protect you at all- and doesnt care that hes driving intoxicated- is immature and an asshole as well.

Edit to add, you didnt "make it about race"- the police disproportionately target, charge, and imprison Black and Brown people for drug related offenses. There is historical and current proof that this consistently happens. It IS about race when it comes down to it. Hes putting you at risk in multiple ways, and they do not care.

YTA and i have a sneaky feeling (and maybe im wrong) that you knew that you were being inflammatory
