Yeah! It reminds me illustrations from my childhood books. Lovely style <3

Cute <3 I sense some "disappointed meme" vibes XD

I will probably skip bottom section all together as want it do be main light. In my prototype I have just well...yarn very tightly woven on the cord 😆

Also thx for the frame link. I am not in UK, but now i do get what I need and managed to find almost same product in Poland - I definitely need the rings with place for a bulb fixture.

OH! Thank you so much! I did not found this artist before. I checked designs and bought this one : https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/xl-light-sculpture-marrakech - it has wonderful shape and different stiches. I will probably adjust the pattern as this is huge. Also...mix of stitches might be easier to shape nicely :) This design made me happy as it is made with exact yarn I ordered for next lamps. I am so exited now!

Thanks! 😊 Yeah, it's for LED bulbs only, and in this one the bulb sits around the middle of the shade. I did try to stagger my increases and decreases by starting them at different stitch counts in each round. I think the overall shape is mostly determined by how far apart the increases and decreases are, while the bumps are probably more of a tension issue. One thing I know I did wrong was joining each round with a slip stitch. I started that way, but later I crocheted continuously in a spiral (I don't know if that's the correct term). Is there a better way to finish each round? I also made this prototype with a color-changing yarn because that's what I had. 🙂 I'll make the next one in a solid color, as I think the stripes make all the imperfections much more visible. So... no stripes for me, at least for now!
