I learned knitting, back in the day.  I never really had the patience for more than a few scarves.  Perhaps it would have held my attention longer if I had knitted a bikini or some lingerie instead? 

There is quite a glut of sexy knitting patter books on the market right now.  Knitting Lingerie Style (pictured), Naughty Needles,  DomiKNITrix,  Sexy Little Knits….

But the funny thing is that, with very few exceptions, the actual knitted product looks either pretty much like knitting-as-your-grandmother-knew-it… or naff.  I think this particular trend is a triumph of packaging over substance. 

 When I look at the orange knitted bikini from Sexy Little Knits I can see one major difference between that an my wiggly scarf — I would (and did) actually wear the scarf.
