Good morning how is your week going?
I went to get my bulk loo paper yesterday 🤣 £20 for 6 packs of 18 is a bargain from Farmfoods. Old chap in front of me spent over £80 😳 I just so happened to have a £5 off voucher so I gave it to him as I’m never going to spend £60
Have a fab Thursday & I’ll catch you later new pattern dropping this afternoon

Saw this on my Morrisons app, I think it’s £10 at Asda.
I’m not a drinker myself but I’m sure someone likes Baileys 🤣 or maybe put it up for Christmas?

Good morning & Happy Wednesday. Photo is the dogs favourite & very old toy and kind of the point of post!
Anyway back to my point 🤣 So I was scrolling through FB a few months ago & came across a knitted item, I don’t recall what
they are called but the bodies aren’t stuffed, do you know what they are called?

I’ve seen similar over the last couple of years but just couldn’t place where I’d seen them originally. Then I stood on this toy that was laying on the carpet, still squeaks, & as I went to pick it up to move it all became clear😊 it’s amazing how everyday items become inspiration for creators of knitting or crochet 🧶🧶

Who remembers my recent post about AI? It seems I’m not the only one concerned, I received an email last Thursday from Etsy. They now insist people use at least one unedited photo in their listings. I am sure there will be one or two (at least one I know has from their start) that will still cheat the system because they were wise enough only to enhance the stitches and not the background 😉
Anyway have a fabulous day

AI what are your thoughts?

So I am thinking of removing the background on photos I used AI for because obviously I don’t have a roaring fire in my work space 🤣 photo is just for reference so you know what I’m talking about.

The reason behind my question is it’s been pointed out to me that some have taken to changing their work by smoothing out the stitches etc which is cheating right? No mentioning names please as this is their issue.

My issue is I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’d changed my actual stitches to look like machine knit & cheat. So let me know your thoughts

Good morning it’s Monday so it’s time to wake up & get your day started 😊 or maybe it’s time to get up & have a cuppa 🥱 not sure I’ve the energy for this week, clock change means I’m tired for at least a week!

Don’t forget to turn your clock back one hour before you go to bed tonight.

That’ll be my body clock thrown & it’ll be dark when I wake, dark before I finish work then …. You get it dark! 🌓
