I need a gift for a friend who really likes yoga and I thought these Lotus Leaf mittens would make a nice surprise. I’m knitting them with On Your Toes yarn on size 0 DPNs. They are such fun to knit that I have to be careful to break up the knitting with other activities so that I don’t harm the gimpy shoulder. I wondered if the black and white would be too stark but so far I really love it.
