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?

I think it's a pretty darn creative use of knitting:)

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:)

It would make a nice gift, you could also buy the stick lamp as part of the gift. The regular price is only around $16 at Target!
