I do some knitting for some yarn companies, e-mail me and I will tell you who. I have the yarn and pattern for Moroccan days, I just need to wind the yarn. Hopefully this week I can get to it, my sewing/craft room has been a huge mess so I have been redoing it to get it organized better and so I know what yarns I have.

Jeez, I make errors all the time doing things I do every day. I call those "auto pilot" errors. When even the simplest things are beyond me. I just admit the mistake, try to fix it and move on. I would think designers would be pleased that someone liked the design enough to spend the time working on it and looking closely enough to find the errors. Isn't that better than being ignored?Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-46400133665127588562008-03-30T20:21:00.000-04:002008-03-30T20:21:00.000-04:00I do agree that no one is perfect & it's alright t...I do agree that no one is perfect & it's alright to admit mistakes. I once talked to a designer about mistakes in her pattern & she refused to accept that & insisted that I was wrong. Till today, there are still mistakes in her other patterns.

So deadlines are not a big part of my vocabulary.<BR/>What I do like is your manifesto about errors and your Ghandi quote. I was at a talk given by his son(grandson?) who talked about wanting a new pencil but he still had about 1 1/2 inch of old pencil left. He ended up breaking the old pencil so he could get a new one but admitted he broke the old. The gist of the discussion he had with Ghandi was similar to what your quote said and included more about the haves and have-nots. Good memory so thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197527112516936318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-48401658321024414052008-03-28T18:26:00.000-04:002008-03-28T18:26:00.000-04:00Unfortunately, this is my busy time at work or I w...Unfortunately, this is my busy time at work or I would love to knit it up.
