Mistakes are great! Really they are. How can we ever learn a new way of doing something unless we have to undo a mistake. My crafting mistakes include dropping a stitch and not realising until 10 rows later or when I think I’ve cut my macrame cords to the ‘right’ length only to discover that the final product is 20cm shorter than I wanted it to be. These things are glitches, they happen to us all. Even the most accomplished crafters make mistakes; mistakes help us discover ways to fix something in a way that we may not have thought, one that makes it easier to do next time.
If I considered everything that doesn’t go to plan as a mistake (in the true sense of the word), I think I’d have given up a long time ago. Mistakes shouldn’t be seen as negative, they should be embraced as a learning opportunity. A very long time ago, one of my university tutors used a phrase that has stuck with me all my adult life - “It’s not trial and error, it’s trial and improvement”.
