Perfection
I have always been haunted by the need for perfection in my crafting. If it is not perfect, then it is not good has been my attitude. Not such a good attitude but it does not apply to other people’s work just mine. Strange that I am just fine with other people’s work not being perfect and will even purchase work by other people that is not perfect yet I am unhappy with imperfection in my own work.
This does not mean I have achieved perfection in my work, just that I get very unhappy with my work if it is not perfect.
So when I found this tutorial about making the perfect loop in beading I just had to try it out.Here is the link:
How to Make a Perfect Simple Loop
I decided to practice by making knitting stitch markers. It has been on my mind to make some for a while now so combining the two goals was a great idea. I loved how the tutorial broke it down into very simple steps and it really helped. I found I had been making my loops in a different way – making them this way increased the number of perfect loops I was able to make.
Of course not all the loops came out perfect and I had to make a bunch over but overall I was please with the outcome.
But now I have too many stitch markers. I might just make some more for retreat goodies. . . .
Here is what I made:
My favorites were the orange ones and the clay bead ones.
