This pair of luxury art glass knitting needles features clear Pyrex rods topped with translucent red hearts.

Hearts symbolize love, honesty, trust, and serenity. Heart symbols have held meaning for centuries. In the middle Ages, the heart icon was associated with signs for union, togetherness, fire, and flight. On an ancient Greek amphora, hearts represented leaves on Dionysus' wreath. Later, the heart's association with Eros, god of sexual love, and Cupid, his Roman counterpart, prevailed. Apparently Aztecs, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Celts, and Taoists all use this fortuitous and universal symbol.
