the frugal lighted hook???

[Dangerouscrochet]

LOL, Well I am letting the 'cat out of the bag ' so to speak...............I am frugal.

 

Instead of buying a lighted hook, I have been using one of those little 'finger lights' that you can find around the registers My husband bought it, so I am not sure what he paid for it somewhere between 1 and 4 dollars I believe. anyway, I put it on my thumb of my yarn holding hand ( ie, not the hook hand LOL) and it works out rather well LOL.

 

The way I figure it, what I have saved on it ( until my hubby wants it back ) I can buy another skein of yarn .

I think this is what the lights look like. I thought about getting the same cheap light! Glad to know it works!

Hey that's it!! LOL. The one I have is a blue bulb. ( even though the unit itself is green , go figure.)

 

Thanks for posting the pic for me!

Every time I check out at Walmart, I see these lights and "think" about getting one, but never do. I WILL get one next time I'm there now that I know they work! I did order 2 lighted hooks and they should be here any day, but still will try the little finger light too. My teen daughter likes everything crocheted in BLACK and I need all the light I can get when I work on her stuff!!

 

You are not the only frugal one here!!

What area of Wally World are these little lights located?

[everkutz]

I have found them (on several visits) at the checkout aisles! They are in a small box with all the other stuff they try to get you to buy at the last minute, in the checkout aisles!

How clever! I love a mind that is always in crochet mode.
