I actually really love this book Would recommend this book to friends, if they don't like knitted underwear, there's other items in there such as lacy tops, skirts, socks, etc. Patterns are pretty easy to follow and written in high detail. Oct 09, Michelle Browne rated it really liked it Shelves: knitting. This is definitely a book for advanced knitters. While the instructions and patterns are laid out very nicely and with great detail, a lot of them are very, very fitted. It would help the reader if they did some research on how pattern-fitting actually works - why the proportions of sweaters are so, what sleeves do, how to accent the body, etc - before they attempted these. For example, dolman sleeves are different from raglan sleeves, and those are different from an oversized sleeve or boxy fit This is definitely a book for advanced knitters. For example, dolman sleeves are different from raglan sleeves, and those are different from an oversized sleeve or boxy fit as well. Also, gauge swatches are a MUST for this book! Still, it's a great way to level up your knitting and challenge yourself. The only "bad" pattern is the panty garter, and that's only because I'm just not convinced by knit panties. Still, there are plenty of graceful and wearable sweaters and cardigans in this, and some incredibly cute sock and stocking designs. It's the sophisticated kind of Knitting Lingerie Style: More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie-inspired Designs, and not a tacky novelty book which I also love - fight me! Dec 23, Laura rated it liked it Shelves: adultknittingpatterns-to-knitreadreview-on-blog. I'm afraid that the cover of this book is quite misleading. When I saw it, I assumed that it would be completely filled with patterns for knitted lingerie. That, however, is not the case. I actually picked up this book because I was curious. I wanted to see how someone could manage to fill up a book with lingerie knitting. But there are actually lots of pattern in it, such as: shirts, lacy over-jackets, socks, and even a dress. I saw one pattern in this book that look particularly nice, it was a I'm afraid that the cover of this book is quite misleading. I saw one pattern in this book that look particularly nice, it was a skirt. I would love to knit it someday, it was appropriately long Knitting Lingerie Style: More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie-inspired Designs very sweet looking, the only problem I had was that the picture displaying it was a little risque. That being said, there are several photographs that I would label "sketchy" or even "sensual," and this is probably not something that I would leave just lying around the house. This is an interesting book, but probably not something I would recommend. Knitting Lingerie Style: More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie-inspired Designs all 9 comments. Sep 02, Tonileg rated it it was ok Shelves: knitting-crafts. Beautiful hardcover large format book with about 31 different patterns. Oct 09, Robin rated it liked it Shelves: arts-and-craftsknittingnonfiction. I was hoping to find a pattern that could convince me that knitted underwear can be sexy, but no such luck. I'll pass on the knitted panties, baby dolls or "gartinis", thanks. However, this teaches you how to knit a bra, which though impractical? Some tops would work as layering pieces: the Lace Tee is lovely, and there were a few nice "corsets" that'd make sweet sweater vests. And of course the lace patterns you could always I was hoping to find a pattern that could convince me that knitted underwear can be sexy, but no such luck. And of course the lace patterns you could always use somewhere else. Read with the "inspired" part of "lingerie-inspired" firmly in mind, instead of looking for lingerie, and this'll make more sense. Apr 26, Abbey rated it liked it Shelves: knit-crochet. Not at all my cuppa. Well-written and has gorgeous pix, but the 'way too small sizings, awkward size and heft of the book itself, and the charted patterns made this unworkable for me. Yes, there were several nice-looking patterns mainly nighties but most of 'em appeared to be sleazy just for the "fun" of it! No thankx. May 21, Alana rated it really liked it Shelves: knittingreviewed. Did I not add any of my knitting books to Goodreads? Evidently not. Well, I have yet to complete a project from this book, but I think the book and the pictures are just beautiful. I've started the boudoir jacket perhaps one of the least risque itemsmainly because I have no idea where I could get things like garter hardware or corset boning in Brooklyn. I'll work my way up to that, I suppose. Apr 29, Crissy rated it really liked it Shelves: knitting. This book just came in to the shop. At first I thought it looked silly - but then again, that's my opinion of most knitted lingerie. However, there were some really beautiful, sweet, sexy, not at all silly things that weren't necessarily lingerie. Plus, they look interesting to knit.
