I know the blankets I did for the babies in the family, had errors, but I don't think they were as obvious as this lady's blanket. I do leave small errors in my work, and I'm about to post about a shawl I just did that has some errors. I do try to write about the projects that just didn't work (although not always in a timely manner), and I almost always post about my trials and fustrations, esp. with machine knitting. However, I don't have 3000+ readers, LOL. What surprised me is that the lady never mentioned anything about the odd motif section. Did SHE not see it? Or maybe she hopes no one else sees it? If it was me, I would have written a long entry about the mistake, the hows and whys, etc. Perhaps I don't need to do that.TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32792023.post-60392114197458771952010-08-26T16:10:07.806-07:002010-08-26T16:10:07.806-07:00I think your last sentance summed it up ;)
heeh I ...I think your last sentance summed it up ;)<br />heeh I always post what I did, mistakes and all, but I know that everyone makes mistakes and no-one is perfect even if they only show the perfect stuff.<br />The thing is, it encourages people to show their work more and even get into MK'ing when they see that mistakes do happen :)<br />Don't be so hard on yourself, mistakes or not, if you created something, share it :)Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32792023.post-71532143728400666892010-08-26T12:03:31.259-07:002010-08-26T12:03:31.259-07:00I once crocheted an afghan for my mil & she wa...I once crocheted an afghan for my mil & she was told there was a mistake in it (row 2!) that I hadn't found until I was finishing it & that she would only be allowed to take it home with her, if she could NOT find the mistake. My dh assured me that Japanese artists put in mistakes on purpose! The afghan was made as a mesh & then you wove in stripes going the other way to make it plaid. I have a picture in my fb Crafts album (can't remember if you are on my fb friend list or not - if now, welcome to add me!). The picture doesn't show the mistake & I have no idea if she has the afghan still or not. I hadn't taken a picture before giving it to her in 1981, but was able to do so about 14 years later while visiting.Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.com
