MAKING :: I yarn bombed my lamp

The other week I had Roxy home from school sick and all she wanted was to snuggle up next to me in bed. I’m going to miss that when she grows up, but it meant that no work got done. What was I to do with my day but pick up a crochet hook and yarn bomb my lamp?!

It was easy to do – I just did my crochet in rows and decreased to match the shape of the lamp. Then I sewed up the seam at the back. Yarn bomb and lamp makeover complete! Is this something you’d like a tutorial for? Have you ever done any yarn bombing at home or in public places?

      Hi Nicole. I used Zpagetti yarn which is made from fashion industry offcuts – it’s stretch knit fabric. There is a link to their website in my coil bowl tutorial and also the knotted neckpiece tutorial. I just sort of figured out the decreases as i went along. I will post a tutorial… as soon as I can schedule it in!

thanks for your comment
