Mistake or Design Element?

Do you declare that mistake you made is really a design 

Element?  No!! Never!  Of course, it was not a mistake but

A liberty taken in the pattern!  

I’ve been working on this pattern for two months now—

I stopped adding beads ( cause I was running out of beads)

Isn’t that another design element?  

The pattern has these lovely X’s—and the way the pattern reads—calling a “mistake” a design element is often in 

My vocabulary!

Knit on!  Mistake or design element?  It’s my work of art!!
