[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Resending Successful Saturday

[slery]

Well, I didn't get back to this, so I am sending today instead.

I needed to share my win from the weekend. I was gathering yarn for a 
new pattern and trying to make sure I had enough yardage. I was short 
and decided I could use something else for the button band and cuffs. 
Well, the yarn I am using is variegated and on the dark side so I asked 
co-pilot (I have MS 365 and do not pay extra for any AI) what colors the 
yarn is (I knew the brand and colorway). It gave me a description. Then 
I asked it what color coordinated and it gave me a color in the same 
yarn. Then, I asked for a contrasting color and it again gave me a color 
that was in the same yarn.

I was very pleased with my use of AI for crafting.
