As I have been away for 10 days on vacation with my family, I didn’t put aside any time for crochet. However, I did experiment with ChatGPT image creator.
I used this prompt:
Create image 5 animals dancing in a round. one blue and white penguin, one teal octopus, one purple owl and 2 frogs different sizes and shades of green. The animals are crocheted.
Pretty good! If you haven’t yet met the Yarn Buddies, visit my last post introducing them.
I did customize the prompt to improve the image, however, with the free trial I was not able to prior to this post. Once I am back in The ‘Peg, I should be able to and I will place the updated version here!
April 2 – 3 days later
I’m not sure why but I couldn’t edit my prompt until today. My goal was to make the yarn buddies look more like they do in real life. My revised prompt was this:
Revise the image with the octopus made with fluffy yarn and bigger stitches. The legs are tightly curled to the body. The larger frog is a lighter shade of green and both frogs have a crocheted white oval sewn to their bellies. The penguin and owl should have no feet.

It did exactly what I asked it to. So fun!
This is so fun! I love how you used AI to bring the Yarn Buddies to life—even the little details like the curled octopus legs and frog bellies turned out great! It’s amazing how specific prompts can really shape the outcome. Hope you had a great vacation, and thanks for sharing this creative experiment—it made me smile! 😊
