Well, I didn't get back to this, so I am sending today instead.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I was very pleased with my use of AI for crafting.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It\u2019s a neat
pattern. It has 2 trees on each side of the front, with
their branches intertwined. Above and below the trees is a
simple basketweave pattern.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">However, I
don\u2019t want to use the gauge LB has for the pattern. Their
sweater is super-large, and they want me to hold 2 strands
of yarn together, which I don\u2019t want to do. So I figured
out their gauge/inch, then figured out mine, and I\u2019m
modifying parts of the pattern to suit my gauge. It seems
to be working. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
