Imperfection

Design concept. © Catherine V. Bainbridge 2013

One of the things that I have always loved about hand-worked repeat patterns, is the way in which the natural irregularities - the imperfections - make a repeat pattern not a repeat pattern anymore. 

Even though it still is. And I think that's the quality that appeals so much to me in so many world cloth/stitch traditions.
