MARLENE LEUENBERGER  I would maybe give the Lumos Lumos neck light a try. I find it IS mouse comfortable. I’ve worn it for hours w no problem. 

The link to Bonnie doesn’t seem to work. 

Last week I got this neck light on Amazon.  Very bright and 3 brightness modes.  I also have a Lumos Lumos neck light. More expensive but very comfortable. I would not try a lighted crochet hook. Wouldn’t be bright enough for me and it sounds like you are in the same boat as me! 🙂

I’m in love w your colors!

That seems pretty easy!  You had me a little worried in the beginning when u were explaining it 

Tiffany Hansen. Yes thanks. That helps to know. I think I am right on target though

Great to hear ur on track Marlene.  I did my chain and first SC row yesterday and I also had a med shade blue and even though I focused on tension w the chain, I did have some chains while doing my SC row that were very small and if I wasn’t paying such close attention to make sure I got it right I would have missed them. 

A question for Tiffany though,  my first response to you may have been a little off?  I did my chain of 211. Then at the end I put a stitch marker at the 211 chain before turning to do my SC row. In counting after my SC row I had 210 BEFORE adding the one w the stitch marker so then it’s 211. That one was also kinda hidden down the side so if I hadn’t put the marker there I would think I had 210. Now since we started at the second chain from hook, wouldn’t that be 210?

Hi Marlene. I think part of the problem is after you make the chain 211, you start the first SC stitch in the SECOND chain from hook, so that will make you stitches 2 LESS, so 209. But you said you are at 208. Could you be mistakenly counting the loop on your hook?
