AI-generated lace patterns... ? Sadly, yes. And I found out the hard way when it just would not work. Come and have a chat about it!
🧶 Hello! Welcome back to Knitting Chat — I'm Kelly, also known as RowRow and Kades, and this week there is a LOT going on. I've been beavering away on some sock knitting (obviously 🧦), but the big conversation this episode is a shawl design I was working on — only to discover that the lace pattern may have been AI-generated, and frankly, it just doesn't work. On a MUCH more exciting note — my Chamonix socks are in the latest issue of The Knitter Magazine, and I am absolutely over the moon! I also share some of my favourite patterns from the issue, because there are some absolute gems in there.
The Cosy Toes KAL is well underway again and I give you the latest on my yarn choice for y Limerence Socks.
There's also a heads-up about a Patreon price increase coming — And a way to avoid it!
And... I almost completely forgot to tell you about a baby knit I've made. Almost. 😅 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
