I asked ChatGPT to give me a pattern for a cabled shawl. I had to heavily modify it because each row was a different # of stitches, but even after I got uniformity on stitches… it just looked atrocious.

I wanted a cabled shawl, I got a scarf made of yarn intestines.

I admire all of you who are taking the time to knit these monstrosities. Pattern designers are still safe!

Oh wow yeah, that’s pretty bad! (Although your stitches are gorgeous) Did you finish making it?

I did not, it was just something to keep me busy waiting for my fancy yarn to come in for another project. Plus it was kind of awful trying to cable, it was so tight a stretch in spots! All in all a very unenjoyable pattern.
