(well, crafters in general, i guess, but i'm knitting at the moment): 
how much of a perfectionist are you, with the stuff you make?

at the moment, i am making myself a summer shawlette (lovely pattern, by the way;  i've actually made one already and liked it so much i decided to make a second - it's a free download, but you may have to sign up for the site).

anyway, i'm making this shawlette, and i've made 2 mistakes in it.  neither one is major - _i_ can see them, but i doubt anyone half-way across the room would be stopped in their tracks by them.  in both cases, i didn't notice them until several rows on;  both involved a yo s2kp2 yo (which is not as bad as it sounds, really, but the yos make it a little complicated, for me anyway, to tear back, which is what i would have had to do).  so anyway - in both cases, i left the mistakes.

so now i'm wondering - am i just being unforgivably lazy?  i think, if i were making it for someone else, i would fix them...but then again, maybe i wouldn't.  i always tell beginning ceramic students that imperfections are fine, it's what shows the thing is made by hand rather than a machine. 

so - where do you all stand on leaving in glitches?
