Like to knit in bed/in the dark/in the car/around a bonfire? NeedleLite knitting needles are the needles for you! Not only do they light up, they also look like the crafty love children of a lightsaber and a knitting needle, so using them will up your geek cred by at least a magnitude of 10.
The gentle glow of the needles illuminates your work without disturbing others. You’ll never drop another stitch because of poor lighting.
And, for all of you hookers out there, they also make light-up crochet hooks!
You can check out the full selection of glowing craft tools on the NeedleLite Etsy shop.

When I was going through my photos last week, I found a stash of old negatives. I’ve saved them out of habit, but I can’t imagine ever needing them for prints again. Yet, they still seem precious to me.
Instead of keeping them stashed away, I decided to put them to crafty use. One of the strips made it onto a photo box, and I used another to create this pretty little necklace. The perforated edges of the film lend themselves perfectly to jewelry making. I paired my film “beads” with some faux-brass findings and amber. Now I can say that my photos of the Grand Tetons match my hair!
