I really like using neck lights!  I personally have these 2:

I use stitch markers placed every 20 stitches when I have trouble keeping count of large amounts of stitches.

BUT if you like using stitch counters, you could check out:

These are just suggestions.  If you do decide to get the crochet hook set with light and counter please let us know what you thought.

Hi Dawn!

Thanks for reaching out and asking the group!  Haha, I had to research what this was before I gave a response.  I think this picture is what you're talking about.  

I have not tried these before so I cannot give a true testimonial.  However, I do have a set of the crochet hooks that light up (no counter), and they really aren't great quality.  The plastic has some rough spots that catch yarn.  Yes, you could use a sander pad to smooth that out it you would like.  I also found, personally, that the placement of the light was a great idea but not a great execution.  It just wasn't as helpful as I would have liked.  

This set is pretty cool.  It has both metal and light up hook options.  It looks like it would work for someone who needs an ergonomic hook.  And if you are someone who likes using a counter than it might be worth a try.  If you get your set off of Amazon you could always return it if it's not what you hoped.

Me too Sandra!  But even if you are still taking care of yourself when we get started, this will be recorded in such a way that you can get started whenever works best for you.  This will stay up in the Crochet Club for a long time. 😊💖💖💖

Hi Amelia!

Our first game of Crochet Iron Crafter will take place this summer.  I will most likely be opening spots to snag in late February or March. 🤗💖🧶

Great Job Cristy!  It looks perfect for staying warm and cozy outside.  You are so right.  When working a bunch of bigger projects it can feel so good throwing in a quick project.  So smart. ☺️
