Styling Guide- Burlesque Beauty

I love that Burlesque has re-emerged in popularity (thanks Dita!) and have put together a Styling Guide to celebrate it’s return. Knit up our sexy Trish Corselette and Madeline wrap, then accessorize with items from around the web. (The huge ostrich feather fan is so awesome!!)

Knitting is sexy; proof positive.

How is it that I see lingerie where others see turtlenecks and heavy jackets?

Maybe it has something to do with living in a part of California that rarely allows the wearing of heavy wools and outerwear. Seriously, I didn’t even own a raincoat until just this season.

Sooooo, when designing, my mind turns to more body-conscious ways to use the same old yarn and needles.

Welcome the Kimber Bustier and Panty set.

Wear this sexy set for intimate evenings, or just the bustier under a jacket for an unusual top. Either way, you’re cable ready!

Won’t You Be Mine, Valentine?

My husband is one of the few men I know that looks forward to Valentine’s Day.  The notion of having a special day every year to celebrate being in love puts a spring in his step and a twinkle in his eye for the whole event, whether we do something special or just spend the day being together. He is truly a romantic soul and I’m lucky to have him.

His wonderful attitude inspired this little goodie. I knitted it for me, but you and I both know it’s really for him.

And now you can make it for you and yours, or a friend or daughter. The pattern is available for download right now on my Ravelry shop  and the yarn (which can be a little hard to find) is here.  Have a lovely Valentine’s Day!!!

Knitting Show in Portland !

White Lies Designs will be at the Knit and Crochet show in Oregon, Sept 12-14th!

 I’ll be in booth 302 (just to the left of the front entrance) with hubby Mike and we’ll have lots of yarn and patterns for our lovely Fall designs.

I’ll also be signing copies of my book, Knitting Lingerie Style , so if you’ve been coveting an autographed copy I’ll be glad to accomodate!

We hope to see you there!

Here’s a discount coupon to use at the show. Right click on it and print.

Cover Girl!

I was so pleased to walk into my local Joann Fabrics yesterday to pick up the latest issue of Belle Armoire magazine and see my own Rita Mae design on the cover!

They were also kind enough to give me eight pages of garments from my book Knitting Lingerie Style and a great interview.

I’ve always enjoyed this magazine as it’s full of fun design ideas, jewelry and essentially all the girly things I love.  I was very pleased to be included!
