PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE—BUYER BEWARE!!

Toni (TLYarnCrafts) is one of my “go to” designers for all things crochet—one of her designs was STOLEN by AI.

I’ve had several customers come in with patterns purchased off the internet that were AI Generated…and more than likely stolen from the actual designer!
This does not pertain to just crochet!!

Before you spend your money BE SURE it’s being sold by the designer. Follow these tips listed.

THANK YOU “PATROL PAL” Knitters & Crocheters!! This morning I took our box of donations to the Salem Police Dept.

Needless to say, they were amazed, and every donation was deeply appreciated. Please keep them coming. I wish extra love weren’t necessary in this world, but sometimes little ones find themselves in situations they can’t understand or control. A simple “stuffie” can bring comfort when everything feels overwhelming—and together, we can provide that.
This year’s charity, Patrol Pals, is what The Knittin’ Coop will be collecting for at NoSo on Nov. 7. If you have any questions, feel free to call, email, or DM me.
