Has anyone tried knitting something and embedding LEDs in it? The
kind of thing that is in some kid's sneakers and makes them light up.
I'm thinking of a winter hat, perhaps--for my grandson.

Mirjam, LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes, very tiny electric
lights.

knitting ideas? i know there are LED sewn clothing ideas on

The great thing about LEDs is that they don't emit a lot of heat.
We've got several emergency lights that used LEDs. Two are connected to
the mains electricity supply and come on as soon as the mains fails then
go off when the mains returns. The other two are portable lanterns
powered either by 12v car battery or by a "wind up" handle that provides
about 30 mins light for about a minute of winding. We've also got a

small "wind up" radio for emergencies - we call it the clockwork radio <g>
