Darth FM: a Cowl Design in One Act.
by Corrado Lark

The Prologue:

Upon cast on, I fell in love with Becky’s cashmere, which I adoringly call “yarn crack”. From the first to last stitch, it’s a beautiful experience.

There’s also something about red and black that’s striking to me. It cuts through the sea of pink, like I’m finally the goth kid I envied in high school. That said, this design would work with any 2-color combination you can think of, subdued or in high contrast.
