I really like the hot pink. The pink in the yarn picks up on the pink of the ribbon and makes the whole thing a little more "girly." And I like how it's an accent, and practically hidden, so it's just this hint of pink.

And the cuffs remain awesome.

I, myself, am knitting little drawstring bags for all of my husband's camera lenses, so they don't bang into each other in his bag. they're not nearly as interesting.
