Knitting in the Dark

Once upon a time... there was a woman who was sitting in a darkened movie theater, watching seemingly endless previews and promos, and thinking to herself, "If only I could see better, I could be finishing that adorable little sweater I've been working on." Some time later, she mentioned her wish to a friend, and the friend's husband got to work, inventing a little magic! This little fairy tale was inspired by a piece written by Susan Guerrero, which appeared in the New York Times a few years ago. The "magic" turned out to be KnitLite knitting needles, with glowing L.E.D. tips, created by Edith and Merrill Eig. You could knit at the movies with those, or outside under the stars on a summer night, or between 8:30 and 9:30 PM on Saturday, March 28, should you decide to turn off your lights and participate in Earth Hour.
Another helpful gadget for knitting in the dark is KnitLight, which you can wear around your neck. It provides bright light in a targeted zone, without disturbing others around you.
So, no excuses, keep knitting!
