That's why I like the one that clip on my glasses. They can be moved up and down, and in and out so that they're in focus whether I'm making lace at my pillow or doing fine needlepoint near my lap. Of course, they're no good if you don't wear glasses :D

You can see a picture of them here: http://tinyurl.com/6y5vdx This is Mary Maxim's Canadian site but you can switch to their US site if you're so inclined. The item # is 2468. Also most opticians in Canada sell something similar. They also sell ones that clip on to your glasses, much like clip-on sunglasses. I don't like those as much because you have to take them off to look at a distance.

My experience of the magnifier that fitted on my head was that there was an optimum distance at which the object is in focus and, because the lens is a fixed distance from the eye, I had to get my neck into a very uncomfortable position to see anything clearly.
