As a fiber artist, AI crochet really p*sses me off 😡
Over the summer, I found the perfect inspiration for a first-day-of-school outfit for Miss Lily Lou. But you can’t trust much crochet you see online anymore unless it comes from a designer you know—and, sure enough, this Pinterest find was FAKE.
But this mama knew what to do. 💪🧶
We found the perfect yarn, and I crocheted (and crocheted…and crocheted) until I figured it out. Yarn amount? Unknown. Hook size for the right drape? Unknown. Sizing? Unknown. How on earth to add those ties? Also unknown. 😂
But I MADE IT HAPPEN, and I’m damn proud of how it turned out. I will foreverrrrrr make her as many outfits as she requests!!
Best of all? Lilia thinks her sweater looks even better than the picture. 🩷
Off to 5th grade for this beauty. Wishing her the most perfect first year of middle school 📚 📓 ✏️
