Beating AI at its own game

Hello, it's Thursday! Is anyone else sick of seeing something that could be cool except it's NOT REAL? I'm dipping a toe into fighting back, by making a croissantosaurus!

While this is not a pattern, you can get access to all my Youtube written patterns on Patreon:
I also have an Etsy for anyone looking to support the channel, but I do keep most of my patterns free here on Youtube:

[ComplicatedKnots]

Hello! For anyone wondering about a pattern, I have thought about it and I think I'm going to use this as a starting point for a baby dinosaur pattern (wrinkles & rolls included), rather than release it as a crochantosaurus. Keep your eyes peeled for that video in future! :)

I would love to see you make a series out of this, with all of the AI crochet amigurumi pictures that plague pinterest and such!

[katiestarkey]

Would it really be a complicated knots video without the hardest working tortoise?

[missmishpot]

So much to say about this video, but here’s the highlights…
A - I love it so much. Your ambition is admirable, and your creative and practical skills are off the chart!
B - You’re a natural presenter, both thorough, humorous, and charismatic.
C - It’s SO interesting to see how your mind works through the project. That’s very helpful, useful information.
D - I literally cackled when you mentioned “calling about your car’s extended warranty” because I had no clue that was a worldwide scam. I always assumed they only target us “stupid” Americans. Sad reality, but hilarious reference.
E - Your final piece is way better than the AI. He’s precious!
Thank you for this most entertaining upload!

Your comment on "it's all downhill from here" and "it's all uphill from here" meaning the same BROKE MY BRAIN bc I thought they are opposite but they are not? Why? How? I just can't 😭

"Honey are you asking me where babys come from"😆😆😆

[jennyjs]

I haven't watched the video yet but could you please consider making way more in-depth tutorials on advanced amigurumi formation. You are the best I've seen and I want to learn everything you know from you!! I want to learn every single technique so that I can learn to do what you do, see something 2D and crochet it in 3D. It's truly incredible. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Xx

This is so cute!! Also you had me cackling - I love your jokes and the way you always show how you figure out how to construct these strange strange shapes.

[HuskyMama]

Adorbs! Problem solving and sculpting with not-normal medium ---- winner winner!!!

[tsukunai]

Now this sure is a COMPLICATED knots project for sure!

[Nixymachus-itgg]

Holy COW what an impressive and adorable creation! And a delightful video, love the bloopers at the end

[felinewyvern]

You are so brave to tackle this project and so clever to have nailed it.

[staceyfell]

I hadn't seen the original but I'm so glad you made him he's super cute

[wilderwisdom]

What an interesting concept and charming little fella! I was fascinated with your process on this, especially the painting. I know a lot of amigurumi folks will use makeup or paint or other pigment on their creations, and I'm always super nervous of doing that. also chiming in here to say I'm a big fan of the patron names over a blooper reel, I hope it's not too much extra work for you to edit, but it really does feel like a little extra treat if we stay all the way to the end of the video >:3

[TheDeridor]

I love that the original AI image wasn't crochet to begin with, you did an amazing job creating this!

[lilypina]

Im absolutely stunned by your attempt and for me you totally nailed it. love your voice, that you take us (=viewer) into your thought/creative process and the results are always amazing. Didnt find you that long ago, but I already watched a lot <3 much love

[itspixel]

Heck yeah complicatedknots for breakfast!

[esthermcafee]

I always like seeing how you approach the problem. I probably would have done large triangles and rectangles and rolled them up like real croissants to get the layers on the body, tail, and limbs. Then add the little hands and feet. The head would be like yours.

[CrochetxStab]

Honestly, yours turned out better than the image. I’ve always thought the eyes were creepy whenever I see that picture, you worked your magic and made it CUTE. Also he reminded me of a roasted turkey at the beginning stages 😂

[academycute]

Your significant others question at the in was incredibly valid.
