As far as god and the government is concerned I don't have autism. But genetics and my dad's coffee can full of ball bearings might have something else to say about it.

I want to cross stitch something. I am becoming Grandma. The millennials yearn for fiber crafts.

I wasn't paying attention and got a pattern from someone who uses AI (to be clear it's in their promo pictures and not their patterns, but...). It was a free pattern, so at least there's that. But I really liked their stuff and now I'm just frustrated and don't want to share my work.

Do people still need test stitchers for cross stitch patterns? I saw a call on IG for some today and it's the first one I've seen in a long time. Did it just fall out of fashion? Why?

I wish I had a labor exchange for my cross stitch hobby. I would one hundo percent prep someone's aida for their next project if they would wind my bobbins.

Cross stitch is a subset of embroidery. Referring to cross stitch as embroidery is not wrong. And if you say it is you're just being kind of uncharitably critical.

I haven't posted my opinion on AI in a hot minute, but I got followed by an account using AI slop. If you use AI at all for any reason you are a chump and you are actively causing your brain to atrophy. I hope you enjoy not being able to figure out how your own kitchen is arranged without a chatbot.

Where is the best place to buy a DMC 310 cone (a.k.a. the cone of doom)? I want to finally get one, but I'm not sure where? I usually buy from 123stitch. Thought I'd outsource though and see if I get some better places. #crossstitch #embroidery #blackwork #stumpwork #sashiko #threadpainting

I'm going to be working on something for a show that is a pattern I wouldn't know how to share really? But I'll keep sharing and repost patterns that follow my values. I just won't have any patterns I made for a while.

I just realized none of the patterns on my ko-fi have social media information or even the link back to my ko-fi on them. I mean, I'm not going to go back and "fix" them. But jeez what an oversight.

I have 14 days to decide if I want to enter an art show. I am mostly a cross stitch gremlin that holes up in my craft room. So, I know this is something I want to do, but rejection would be hard and participation would be harder.

I'm giving a talk in a couple weeks on how AI is basically ruining the cottage pattern industry for knitting + crochet + cross stitch etc. If you have any particularly egregious examples of AI generated patterns or example pictures, drop them!

An AI generated image of a grandma, ostensibly knitting (???) from a pile of blob, with a Darth Vader helmet (???). She is notably stabbing through her too many fingers with her needles.

An AI generated image of a babushka with a giant sweater in no known to man stitch with a giant fake cat that is allegedly crocheted.

I think it goes hard. Missing the first "but" is an accident. Changing to "trans" was on purpose. Pattern (even a version where I added the "but") available on my Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/s/9168119134 #crossstitch #embroidery #fiberart #furry

cross stitch depicting the text technology used to be cool now it's owned by the worst most money sick humans on the planet but there are trans furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight in green text meant to emulate old style pixelated computer screen font

If you find yourself cringing saying AI "art", but don't know what else to say may I suggest AI slop. It also applies to everything else produced by AI. Slop.

Have another Free Cross Stitch Pattern that I made for the #NoKings #Protests (though this one is much smaller) This one honestly feels like it's missing something... but I can't put my finger on it.

FREE PATTERN! Things are shit right now so go enjoy this free pdf cross stitch pattern available on my Ko-Fi. Ko-fi.com/hereticdesigns

A pixilated picture for a cross stitch pattern on a white background. In purple bold letters in the middle of the image, it reads: "I don't mourn nazis." On the upper left side of that is a big pink flower with a yellow center. Around that flower are green swirls. Another pink flower and more green swirls is on the lower right side of the words. Above and below the words are pink sparkles.
