@thegiddystitcher @discworld I was intending on buying this huge Lyndisfarne discworld map pattern. Now I have a reason. To control my spending, I'll only buy it if I finish my current WIP by the end of November. So now I have motivation to tone down my Divinity addiction and do something with my hands.

@MrJameGumb that's why I'm conflicted. Converting that image to a proper pattern takes work. I can't say how good it is. They're upfront and I didn't see any AI images in their catalogue for sale. My issue with this is that Midjourney allegedly is trained by using copyrighted images without the creators' consent. There wasn't any creativity involved when generating the image other than the prompt. On the other hand it's (hopefully) not used for profit so I hope you see where I'm coming from.

@thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch Oh noo! I didn't mean to spoil it. I'm still seriously considering making it myself. With 90 colours I'd probably cheap out on floss, using non-dmc brands.

@thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch I really like the tree and I'm hoarding it for later, but I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that it was AI generated (the image, not the pattern). I had the same thoughts about the owl from the previous freebies. I know a lot of work is involved in making a pattern so that sparks an inner conflict.

@MrJameGumb @lemmy_stitch I'm back on the greenhouse to show for #wipwednesday . I added the potted plant and you can see the silhouette of Prof. Carver in there! I also started another #CrossStitch project. What is it? Time will tell. All I can say is that I suck at gridding and I already messed it up...

@DrPop @lemmy_stitch I put it in a plastic bag, and then in a cotton bag when I don't work on it for that reason. I stopped to literally rethread my needle, and he jumped on it. People recommended lint rollers. I have yet to try it.

@thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch I'm one of the few who has never heard of Artecy. Thanks for that! 🪡
