My mother is amazing at a lot of things. And shopping for a bargain is one of her most finely honed skills. She was in Joanns with some quilting friends and spied an Ottlite in the clearance section. This is a RARE occurance and she was intrigued. She asked an associate and they told her it was a old “design” that they were told to clearance because a new appearance/look was coming in. So she got a CRAZY good deal on this light and presented it to me for my birthday.
I decided to put it to good use weaving in the ends on my Dark Side Vanilla socks last night. I just plugged it in next to the couch and went to work! My 35 year old eyes LOVED it. It was so easy to see the dark colors and catch the purl ridges. I may never be able to go back to regular light. I might have hugged my mother extra hard for this one!
Happy Knitting!!

Oh hooray! I got an Ott light last year for Christmas and it’s so nice!
Mums are just the best.
I have a standing one with a magnifying glass and it has literally saved my 50 year old eyes 🙂 They are awesome! I got mine on sale with a 50% on coupon plus a sale at Michael’s or JoAnn’s.
Last Christmas Joanns had them on sale for 1/2 off. I got 2 of the sewing machine lights for the price of one. This way I can knit in bed and my hubby can turn the light off to sleep. I gave the other one to my daughter to use as a reading light.
