contents An XC-algebra is the minimum algebraic structure needed to define a framed, oriented knot invariant and generalises Lawrence's invariant obtained from ribbon Hopf algebras. In this note, we show that the knot invariant produced by any XC-structure on the Sweedler algebra is completely determined by the framing of the knot. Furthermore, we also exhibit explicit families of XC-structures on the Sweedler algebra that do not have a ribbon Hopf-algebraic origin.
