I am going to make white small things after this.<br /><br />I had not thought of a daylight bulb (ponders trip to Homebase). I think part of the problem is we have very subdued lighting in our house and my eyesight is terrible anyway, I cannot see more than three feet in front of my nose and I do not like to wear my glasses. (I wear them for driving. You have no clue how many cats saunter randomly across Cambridge roads, also people on bikes with black hair, dressed entirely in black, and with no lights, but that is a separate rant).Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664454336482695288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-53042384674353482732011-11-09T15:57:04.474-08:002011-11-09T15:57:04.474-08:00My late ex-MIL bought me one of those in 1980.

One side for knitting needles, the other for crochet hooks and double point knitting needles. <br /><br />I've crocheted several hundred grannies in acrylic black. That same year I knit a man's xxl sweater in black too. My eyes were better back then. Also, I just survived a house fire so I might have been just a little deranged.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03229883789485107841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-46641857284906558952011-11-08T06:00:59.027-08:002011-11-08T06:00:59.027-08:00The kajillion black squares is the big radon why I...The kajillion black squares is the big radon why I didn't start that afghan immediately upon seeing it, it's so clever and cool!

Oh and my scissors, tape measure, hair brush and at one point the ball of yarn I was knitting from.
