In the half-caffeinated state I normally am in upon sitting at the computer, it’s always nice to find an article that I can say, “Here, read this. You’ll thank me.” And then continue on my java way.

Today’s article comes to us from our can’t-have-enough-wool-items neighbor to the north, Alaska. In the article Undoing mistakes and the Zen of tinking, Tanna Peters explains the deeper meaning behind f-ing up your project. “This process of raveling…is where the Zen of the craft is found.” I personally feel it’s where the gin is found. You can read the entire article here.

Another jewel that is tucked in the article is CraftFail.com. It’s a site dedicated to those crafters that are finding a whole lotta Zen.
