Glacial Gauntlets

The Bohus studio’s designs—upon which this gauntlet is patterned—are famous for their intricate geometry for good reason. And in this pattern you and your powdered drink mix(1) determine the color variation. If your color choices mirror the design shown here, then as your knitting grows you will find the subtle difference in blues to be quite lovely. The occasional splash of red mirrors both the rust that appears in some icebergs in the far north and the temper of Nora that finally flares at the end of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House.

Instructions for dying are included
