ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves an illuminated knitting and crochet device in the form of a hand tool easily sold as a kit with variety of sizes. A partial or full-length bounded inner region contains one or more light emitting devices, optionally actuated by a power supply source and a switch. In one embodiment a solid translucent or transparent tip is provided with a hollow needle body. In an alternative embodiment a computer control module may be optionally inserted to enable a non-use or non-motion automatic turnoff of the device thereby conserving energy for later reuse. As a consequence of the present invention those of skill in the knitting arts may freely operate within a low light or a no light knitting environment with relative ease, thereby improving knitting enjoyment.
