| "Ripple" tatted necklace Marilee Rockley 2012 |
Some of you may have heard about the miserable thieves who are using Artificial Intelligence technology to "make" books to sell. Really horrible, fake books loaded with wrong information (lies) and stolen photos. They're so bad it would be laughable except they hurt a lot of innocent people who are looking to learn a new-to-them craft.
I refer you to Karen Bovard-Sayre's YouTube video about AI Generated Scam Tatting Books https://youtu.be/Plh6jnrC0Ho?si=3C4YQMu4hf3gm0AD
In case you didn't know, I have a free patterns page (2nd tab at the top of this blog) also here's the link: https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/p/my-free-patterns.html
All the patterns there were designed by me, and these took many, many hours of experimentation, trial and error, and re-tatting to get the final results. I offer these for free because I sincerely care about tatting and want to encourage people to enjoy tatting and feel the fulfillment of creativity.
Thanks for your support of designers that are real human beings.

It’s a shame that scammers are muddying the waters; the internet has been wonderful for sharing techniques and patterns.
I found one on Bobbin Lace recently too. I'm the librarian for my lace group, and someone asked about the book because they loved the cover image. We traced the image back to the original source and found it in a back issue of an old lace magazine. It's going to be a problem for newcomers, I suspect.
I love your patterns--the free ones and the ones from your Craftsy classes! Great fun and well done. In the freebies my favorites are the Watermelon, the Dissent necklace, and the Eternal Rose Cross. Thanks for you contributions to tat-land.
