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>Cindy<span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 4/12/2025 2:50 PM, Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I\u2019m resending this message, because I didn\u2019t see it arrive earlier.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>It\u2019s Successful Saturday!
