Has anyone else tried to look up a crochet pattern to buy on Etsy, only to be bombarded by tons of ai crochet photos..and worse, ai crochet patterns?
I’m sure it’s one thing to receive help to make a crochet pattern using ai and then having it tested over and over for your buyers. However, it feels very misleading to buy a pattern that wasn’t made by the Etsy seller, but was in fact made by ai. On top of that, the photos of their amigurumi or crochet patterns they’re selling are ai as well. It’s gotten so bad that I’m seriously considering opening a shop on Etsy to produce patterns and photos of the patterns and then mentioning in bold letters “not ai”.
I’m going to be honest. When looking for a pattern, and I see an ai photo of it instead of their real product, I immediately skip it. It feels like a lack of effort and creativity went into the product.
Is anyone else going crazy by this?

Yet another clam shell halter top! They are just so cute, I can't resist making a million of them. I've got another one in the works already.......

I saw a butterfly resting on a rose, with one wing hidden behind the petals, and it sparked this idea: a butterfly with a rose in place of one wing. Half flower, half butterfly. I’m thinking of turning it into a brooch, or maybe an ear cuff.❤️

Made these! Beginner friendly project!

I think this is one of my favorite makes so far! 🥰

I was pointed here by another sub.

I started watching Doctor Who a few years ago while also teaching myself how to crochet. So I’ve been making all the Doctors as I’ve finished their seasons.

Decided to make an attempt at free handing my first thing this week- and it worked pretty well!

Presenting Clara (freehand) and the Twelfth Doctor (had a pattern for him but made some tweaks to his hair- it needed to be poofy!)

Bonus points as they’ve been my favorite duo so far.

I am doing every other row single/half double. The last few rows are inside out somehow… how did I do that? and how do I fix it?

Yes, I added beads to the end of each string. Yes, it was...a lot of work...

Done in memory of her Grandmother that passed in April💕
