Ooooh Long time never do already

Some aunties in a coffee shop were joking about how to dress up in a naughty fashion ranging from raffia strings with coconut husks to the normal store bought bikinis to boot.


My take on this (never knew that such specialised lingerié existed - the last book I saw at a cousin's place only deal with the "normal" kind):

Naughty needles

Domiknitrix: Whip Your Knitting into Shape

Sexy Little Knits: Chic Designs to Knit and Crochet

Knitting Lingerie Style: More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie-Inspired Designs

Nope, these are not on my upcoming wish list. Simply because I do not have enough time to sit through a session without snoozing nowadays - got some sleeping disease since the army dayz. Like late onset adolescence - I did not need much sleep during my JC dayz and still can stay pretty much awake. Also the dust generated during needlework actually causes me to sneeze =.=III.

Ooo. There's also a book for men (nope, don't count on it - needlework's not for everyone- your dear hubby may produce an infant sweater in the shape destined for the Adam's Family new brood). However, I must add this - when men do needlework, we usually deal with more rugged materials that will bleed women's very very delicate hands and we need more robust equipment such stainless steel knitting needles as opposed to bamboo and pine - we use more strength (more manly =p). I personally also like the heavy feel of stainless steel compared with filmsy wood - I think I broke more than a dozen knitting needles already. Material-wise, I usually make bags, so I will use up to 5 strands to make the bag material - 1 broken got 4 to support ^^.

This title sounds so wrong.... Crochet is way easier to handle - faster too.
