      I guess a third hand would make it easier to deal with working directly from the skein?? It kinda reminds me of all the cheap product listings where knitting needles are pictured with crochet fabric/being modeled like crochet hooks (& vice versa)…

        I didn’t even notice the third hand! I was too busy worrying about her crooked needles and the 10-row drop stitches at her wrist. I definitely see what you mean re. poor advertising. It’s like when a character’s knitting on tv and they clearly don’t know what they’re doing!

          One giant drop stitch is a good description for the fabric, with maybe some macrame in the middle there…

            Believe it or not, it didn’t improve with refinement. AI just isn’t there yet

    I asked ChatGPT to give me a pattern for a cabled shawl. I had to heavily modify it because each row was a different # of stitches, but even after I got uniformity on stitches… it just looked atrocious.

    I wanted a cabled shawl, I got a scarf made of yarn intestines.

    Wow, this looked okay in the thumbnail, but the more I zoom in, the more wtf it gets. It reminds me a little bit of those pictures of webs spun by spiders who had been given psychoactive substances.

      I thought about that also! In a proper lace weight yarn it would look like a web made by a spider on drugs. Halloween decoration, maybe?
