Laura Lam’s novel Goldilocks is a high-powered, high-concept feminist dystopian thriller about an all-female space crew on a mission to save humanity. I created these colorwork mitts as a tribute to the beautiful cover art, with space-themed motifs in six colors reminiscent of a dramatic sunset below a starry sky.

Yarn
6 colors of Jamieson’s of Shetland Shetland Spindrift (100% Shetland wool, 115 yds / 105 m per 25 g ball) in the following quantities:

• yarn color B: 10 yds / 9 m Burnt Umber (1 ball)

If substituting yarn, fingering weight is recommended.
