摘要： An illuminated stitching tool includes a handle, a controllable light source coupled to the handle, and a light transmitting shaft operably coupled to the handle at a proximal end and in optical communication with the light source. The light transmitting shaft is elongated, has a free working end and is adapted to emit light radially and at the free working end. The free working end may comprise a tapered end culminating with a point adapted for knitting, or a hooked end with a thread guide adapted for crocheting. The handle may include an interior compartment configured to house the light source. The light transmitting shaft is solid, substantially rigid and transparent. A frosted finish (e.g., an abraded surface treatment) provided on the outer surface of the shaft enables emission of diffuse light radially outward equally along the shaft.
