As far as hobbies go, nothing is chicer than knitting and nothing is more timeless than sex. You can satisfy both of these impulses with the hand-knitted lingerie patterns from White Lies Designs.

Consider Lucy's Chemise nightie, a zesty variation on the ever-appealing wee nightgown. Because the pattern can be customized to your exact measurements, the chemise can be knitted to fit like a glove, not like an ill-fitting potato sack (yes, I mean you, Victoria's Secret!). The end result is a nightie that's feminine without being fussy and sexy without being tacky.

If you're so inspired, White Lies Designs also sells patterns for fishnet tights, thongs, tap pants and camisoles.

So for all you knitting Nellies out there, ask yourself: does your boyfriend/husband really need another scarf?

I didn't think so...
