What a wonderful article! I've never replied to an article before but couldn't resist here. Theoretically, we all know that everyone makes mistakes, but sharing them brings such comfort!

The ability to take a project that didn't come out the way it was planned and turn it into something else is probably what defines many of us (crafter, sewers, knitters, crocheters etc). We are, theoretically, creative people, and this is where real creativity kicks in (after the shock and dispair of seeing the "disaster" wears off).

I've deposited my fair share of projects in the trash, but have also found that if something comes out too small or too big or just doesn't suit me the best thing to do is give it to charity - that its no good for me doesn't mean that someone else can't benefit from it.
