    I too never start over. However, as I make mostly one of a kinds, I
    have a rule that if I make 3 major mistakes while working on a
    piece, it means I am too out of it, tired or distracted to continue.
    If that happens, I make myself stop, and go to work on something
    else, or take up to an hour break to regroup. Sometimes, depending on
    the size of the mistakes, I make myself stop working for the day.
    Saves me a lot of gold and stones.
