When I was considering a light box, I asked him about it, and he said I should certainly wear dark glasses if I was using it, which would diminish (if not eliminate) the benefit. My eyes are green/grey/blue (they change color), which he categorizes as "light."Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863241891948280552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-1061836726210027742014-12-15T16:29:06.776+00:002014-12-15T16:29:06.776+00:00A word of caution about Archie's sweater, Jean...A word of caution about Archie's sweater, Jean. Large guys often need more length in a sweater than you would expect. My husband is a big guy - 6'4" tall and not what one would describe as slight. I know it's a pain, but it might be worth taking the sweater off the needles and trying it on Archie one more time before you do the hem. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-63173196067968432732014-12-15T15:43:44.352+00:002014-12-15T15:43:44.352+00:00Have you ever wondered Jean about what knitting mi...Have you ever wondered Jean about what knitting might be like in heaven? I've occasionally dreamt about LYSs which seemed much too good to be true and had a thought that they might be like that in heaven??? <br /><br />I do know that Primark are selling Fair Isle Christmas wrapping paper - I might be tempted to go in to buy some.......<br /><br />Jan in North YorksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-25924776382778331512014-12-15T13:54:38.537+00:002014-12-15T13:54:38.537+00:00Like the Ott lights, the light box uses full spect...Like the Ott lights, the light box uses full spectrum daylight, but is designed to flood the area where you sit with light, much as sitting beside a sunny window does. The Ott lights tend to light a very small area, and to be designed to focus on a work area. All you are required to so is sit before it and read, or knit, or write to us. The light does something to promote endorphins, and elevate your mood. Many many people find it very effective, especially those who are deprived of natural daylight by shortened winter days and/or chronically overcast environments. In the USA, health insurance will often cover the cost if prescribed a doctor, but many people buy them on their own; it's not a prescription item only. There is no down side.

I am using my little light box right now, it does help my energy level on these days (and weeks) with no sun. It doesn't necessarily help with anxiety, though.

I am enjoying seeing a child in children's clothing; too many are dressed in miniature versions of the garments I find very impractical as an adult.
