Crochet In The Dark

In my last post I made a list about things to keep your sanity.  So I stated that it would be fun to crochet in the dark, and then one of my friends decided to say that would actually be fun to do.  Then they told me not to use my Crochetlite hooks, because it would make it cheating lol.  Yeah! :) 

Ok, incase your wondering, these are Crochetlite hooks, they have lights inside of them so you can crochet anywhere, anytime!  Oh yeah.  Anyways, I went off to complete my challenge.

First, I picked my hook, which I thought was a size H, but after crocheting for awhile I realized that I had picked up a size I hook instead.  That I realized to late, but it worked out anyways.

So I decided to crochet from memory because I can't read in the dark.  I crocheted a five round granny square.  This would involve SLPST, DC, and joining in the dark.  This should be easy right?  So I went to my nearest tote, which was a bag of crochet cotton and picked out in the dark a skien of yarn.  I ended up picking a skien of yarn that was banana yellow.

The difficult part was trying to guess where the loop was.  I CH4 and joined to form a loop, then CH3 and so on.  I had to feel with my fingers what I was doing most of the time.  Sometimes I lost count and didn't realize.  All in all, the granny square didn't look that bad.  I just think I will frog it later on lol.
