Knit your mittens that light up when you shake hands

Wouldn’t it be nice to wear mittens that light up when you shake hands? I think they would be perfectly adorable. Check out this mitten that is designed with two pieces of conductive fabric located around the thumb and across the palm that when touched by bare, ungloved skin turns on the LED. You can even knit your own mitten and knit the conductive contact points using conductive yarn. It’s a fun and easy soft circuit project that can be done at home. You can style the mitten any way you want, absolute creative freedom!
