Obvious distortions in the patterns, stray lines, or a shape that was just a bit off compared to the other shapes in the piece.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f16e\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">He said there are many explanations. One popular one is that the Navajo intentionally weave mistakes into their rugs to remind them that man isn\u2019t perfect. That sensibility can also be found in the Wabi-sabi art of Japan.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0a94\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><span class=\"markup--quote markup--p-quote is-other\" data-creator-ids=\"anon c030228809f2\">But he preferred another explanation.

And since you can\u2019t change time, why try to change a mistake that already happened? The mistake is already woven into the fabric of time. It\u2019s good to be reminded of it when you look back.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>been rolling around in my mind &#8212; a post discussing imperfections in navajo rugs: I asked him [Jamie Ross, dealer of Navajo rugs] why a lot of the rugs seemed to have mistakes woven into the patterns.
