Anyone ever felt like this?

Any of you ever felt insecure about your kandi? I just started making cuffs and while I feel proud of myself for taking the time to create something special, I feel like my stuff is flawed. I plan to trade all of it but I feel somewhat apprehensive about that. I don't want to trade or give someone crap. I've made 6 cuffs so far and there's a minor mistake in all of them. Even though it's not noticeable, I want it to be perfect for whoever receives it. Another thing is that my cuffs are tight. I can fit them but I don't want to trade with someone who can't... But I'm afraid of not pulling the string tight enough and the cuff being too loose. Are these things common amongst people who just started making kandi? I'm sorry for rambling. I'm just looking for some advice or reassurance. Sorry if I sound stupid

@flightedbird: I probably will post some of my kandi soon when I get a bit more comfortable with it.

All creations will have at least one flaw in them. We're not machines. My mom always says that what seems like a huge mistake to you isn't noticable to someone else. A lot of the time when I point something out she says "I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out."

And for the tightness thing, maybe try using longer lengths to see how you do on larger ones.

Anyone who just starts out at something is going to have problems but you'll improve with time and practice! I can't even make Kandi so I'm already impressed by you.

I'd love to see your Kandi if you haven't posted it already.kao love
