Even after 10 years, I am still often asked how I like being an editor. I addressed this question in an editorial several years ago after coming across an article in the January 1923 issue of The Modern Priscilla magazine, which says, in part: "A week or two ago I dropped in to get a key made at the locksmith shop. As I waited, my friend spoke of how interesting he found his work, meeting all kinds of people and having to use his head to solve new problems.

Great Product Finds
The Stitch Light from Buffy Ann Designs combines a flashlight and a portable tool holder on an adjustable neck strap, leaving your hands free for crocheting in low-light settings. The digital LED light provides bright white, energy- efficient light with three settings: super-bright, bright or flashing. It also pivots and has a zoom feature, allowing you to adjust the width and position of the beam to suit your needs. The 4 x 3 1/2-inch zippered craft pocket holds a small pair of scissors, stitch markers and other tiny notions, while the elastic band on the outside can secure an extra hook or your reading glasses.
The craft pocket and neck band portions come in a huge range of color and pattern choices, allowing you to build your own customized Stitch Light. If you crochet on planes, trains and automobiles, you'll find that the Stitch Light is a great hands-free helper. The Stitch Light is available at AnniesCatalog.com.
