This pair of clear glass knitting needles is topped with ruby red Amanita mushroom caps detailed with white Pyrex dots.

The design is based upon Amanita muscaria, the quintessential toadstool found commonly throughout much of the world. One of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Generally considered poisonous, Amanita muscaria is also famed for its hallucinogenic properties. The mushroom has had a religious significance in Siberian, ancient Indian and Scandinavian cultures.
