Knitting With Lights … Who Needs Yarn?

Posted by Danielle | Nov 22, 2020 | Beyond Knitting, Knit Hacks | 0 |

Way back in 2014 when I still worked at Lion Brand, I had some time free time at a yarn show and decided that it would be fun weave some some LED lights into my wristers. Little did I know that this little fairy light project would end up being one of my most popular to date, it was even featured by CRAFT!

My Wristers With Lights

Fast forward to 2020 … this week I was delighted to see these knitted lights by Leila Raven:

Who needs yarn, right? Leila says she’ll have a kit & pattern for her version in December, so definitely watch for that and in the meantime, below are a selection of LED fairly lights I’ve personally used for knitting into my own projects – have with experimenting!
