    I buy things I like. In the past, I've bought chipped cups because they were pretty so why not a wonky bag. If it calls to me I'll buy it and I've been called by some strange stuff over the years.

    I'd adopt the 'man on a galloping horse ....' theory and if you're ok with that then go ahead. On the other hand it could just be your 'Amish' tribute :-P

    By the time it's finished, I think it will be just fine. Once the ties are added, it will be great!

    I didn't notice and even after looking at the picture, if I didn't know what I was looking for I would not have noticed.

    If I liked it and it wasn't to pricy, sure I would buy it.

    Maybe you could add another row (column) of zig zag on either side of the existing rows. One on the furthest outside and the other on the inside so that all four rows even it up. Clear as mud?

    No - not if it is new. An antique item that's not perfect sometimes has character. But when someone is selling a new item that is not perfect, I can't imagne they don't know that, and I think they are in effect saying"I really don't have the skills to do this, but I want you to pay for it." That's just sloppy. If someone is selling something, they are saying their work is good enough to pay for, and as such should reflect an excellent quality. Unless it's a kid trying to raise money for a good cause, and then it's more like charity, and the wonky, poorly made item reflects a good heart, and I'm happy to donate.
