The dark star is so much more to my liking because it is a creative response. Patterns are just a hint of what things could be. How many times have people remarked they put their own twist on something, or could not find the identical fabric and end up making something that is their own! It is so hard to get into someone mind set that we rather blame ourselves for making something less than identical. All you really need is the spirit that draws your plans together and sets you off on a new path.....enjoying the difference.
