What was your inspiration?

After moving to a warmer climate I looked for new ways to use my knitting rather than making warm sweaters and socks! This idea just came to me when I was thinking about things in my house I could cover with knitting!!

What are you most proud of?

It's a beautiful and inexpensive way to decorate a boring lampshade and it shows off your knitting skills!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Once you start knitting lampshade covers look out, it can be addicting, I have covers on just about every lamp in my house:)

I have quite a bit of "ribbon" yarn. I think it would work for a "light" covering for my lampshades. It is kind of slippery to use, but I think it would look great. Perhaps a good winter evening project.

It took a few tries and a bit of math:) You could pretty much cover anything with knitting if you really want to!

how did you come up with this pattern and have it work.it's hard enough to make a regular lampshade.

This is very ingenious! Love to see new ideas and although I have seen and own a couple of crocheted lamps and shades, have not seen one knit before.
