By using light sensor with transistor switch, you can make a “LED that turns on when dark” circuit without bothering with microcontrollers.

LED throwie is a great project from Graffiti Research Lab.
So, as a contribute to their project, I made a “Granny Throwie”, LED throwie made with crochet.

A variety of conductive fabric, copper and aluminum tapes are available. Some have conductive adhesive and some not. Some make good electrical connections by simply overlapping ends, and some do not. Copper tape is great for soldering to.

Thin nose pliers are useful for making loops at the end of components like LED, capacitor, resistor.. so on.
Also, it is often used to pull out needle when sewing in neoprene.
