Found a blog where a woman bought these instead of the costly hooks..

Hey, that is really neat! That could be used for things other than crochet, too (what? there are things other than crochet?), like reading, finding the car key hole....

 

Thanks for the link!

Where's the fun in those?

Where's the fun in that?

You could put them on your crochet hooks and have your daughter's Barbies engage in a light saber duel?

[Mermaiden]

That is clever. Thanks for sharing!

Or I could just get the lighted crochet hook and have the Lightsaber duel with daughter and myself.

Or play with our real toy lightsabers.

Yes this is an alternative, but as was suggested in another thread here by CB Potts

If you really want a hook that glows, spray paint a hook with glow in the dark paint and then top with a clear sealing coat. Let dry thoroughly. The paint 'soaks up' light and glows fairly brightly for a few hours at a go.

 

*Perhaps I have too much time on my hands or do too much crocheting at the campground...Either way, it's certainly cheaper than 30$!!!!!*

; you can just spray paint one of your hooks with glow in the dark paint, and then maybe add a sealant to keep it from wearing off too fast........

Glow in the dark really doesn't last long and needs to be 'charged' under a light. And not nearly as fun as something that actually lights up. That's just me though.

Empress Busy Bee, NOW that you have explained your Avitar in the other thread, I can appreciate the connection between you and the light sabers! Sorry but I did not understand :thinkThe Star Wars connection(no Star Wars animated series here in Morocco!)I was tatally clueless:loser! but NOW it is funny!

[Empress Busy Bee]

Now you know.

Hey! Is there "glow in the dark yarn?" Get that, use the lighted hooks, and save some REAL money....

[JCB]

I have a small LED clip-on light, meant to be a book light, that might be useful. I keep forgetting about it. We went to a music festival over the weekend and for a while I was crocheting by feeling the stitches, until it got so dark that I gave up!

 

I'm not sure just how much light those lighted hooks would throw???

Do they make the clip on lights small enough to fit our hooks?
