The cumulonimbus mittens are so named because the fluffy sproingy tonal grey yarn my sister dyed and handspun reminded me of stormy clouds. The lace in the pattern provides a little ventilation. The cables were inspired by cumulonimbus clouds which seem to grow vertically in columns. For matching socks, check out Cumulonimbus Socks
