You’ve got to love a man who for Valentine’s day gives his wife a book on knitting lingerie. Talk about knowing my true passions! While, “Naughty Needles: Sexy, Saucy Knits for the Bedroom and Beyond” was mostly gifted to give me a giggle, I’ve yet to hold a knitting book in my hands that didn’t in some way inspire me. It raises the question: is knitted lingerie taking a love of all things yarn too far? Possibly. But it’s a boundary that I may just be willing to test…

I think I would start out on the more innocent side. There is a pattern for knee high socks in there that is actually pretty cute. (Granted the pattern title of “kinderwhore” is a bit off putting…) I really love to wear skirts, but rarely do. The combination of living in a cold climate and a lifestyle that requires frequent trips out-of-doors makes it rather impractical. Perhaps this is the answer? I must say that I’m really smitten with the yummy alpaca/merino yarn that I used for hubby’s slippers. It’s so silky soft. I could see a pair of these in the above mentioned yarn being rather sensuous, while simultaneously being warm and practical. Not a bad combo…
While I don’t think I will be progressing to knitted pasties, a lacy mohair nightie wouldn’t be out of the question. I must say, I think I’ll be leaving the knitted bondage for someone else. After-all, there is a line, and for me anyway, knitting up, say a ball gag, crosses well over said line…
