Very interesting learning about your experiences as you become more proficient at knitting. I'm not too worried about perfectionism, it's more important to have the experience and use it in the future. Some people here have said it's the errors that make each handmade piece of work unique. Thank you for the face cloth pattern, that's a good project to have in the bag for jetlag/waiting/nine-degrees-of-tired times. Loved the socks, they look very cosy!
