Knitted Lingerie

Have you ever looked at knitted lingerie and thought, “I could make that — if only there was a book about it!”? If so, you’re in luck — Knitting Lingerie Style at Amazon.com is the only knitting book focused on lingerie designs, and is just $19.77.

The author’s 30-plus designs are beautifully photographed, range from the functional—knitted bras, slips and camisoles —to the fun — baby doll negligees and teddies — and are available in sizes petite to plus. It’s written for advanced beginners and beyond, but if you run into problems, you can contact the author at www.whiteliesdesigns.com.

For those of us without such talent — you know, members of the 10 thumbs club — there is always Skin’s luxurious Baby Alpaca line ( pictured above left) or the sumptuous Play by Jieun 100% cashmere line (above right). Bittersweet Butterfly has the Play by Jieun panties and bra sets for $85, regularly $170. Figleaves.com has Skin’s camisole & girl shorts set for $150, regularly $215. UK readers, the Skin set is marked down to £101. For Figleaves, check our bargain page for coupon codes (expiring 17th July).

I know it’s summer and too hot to even think about cashmere (is that possible?), but autumn isn’t that far away and these items are on sale right now!
