I've been making this little mock-up of my lotus mitten, inspired by the logo of my local yoga studio. I was more concerned about the look of the lotus than I was about gauge and size, so the mitten is a little snug on my hand. I also want to move the lotus up the palm a few more rows and I'm going to change the color gradations to mimic those on the cuff. So, this is just one small step in the creative walk. I also hope to try out different background colors (a light camel, perhaps) and maybe even a different cuff pattern. The corrugated ribbing has a nice look and makes for a snug wrap around the wrist, however, it is predictably inelastic.
The unusual thing about this week is that I've set the knitting aside to work on other deadlines. More to come.
I plan to use this as the back of the mitten with the lotus revealed when the palms are "up".
