Undies!
OK so it’s totally wierd showing a picture of my ass on the internet, but it’s totally covered and it’s for a purpose. That secret newly completed project I mentioned in a previous post is indeed the Mon Petit Chou from Knitty. I spent all day Sunday finishing it, finally got some elastic and ribbon for the finishing touches so I could get some photos. This was the best way to show off the lace (otherwise it looks like a lump of yarn) without showing off my ass.
Some of this was a bit of a pain to knit, like the short-rows on the back piece. For some reason I didn’t get the right alignment of stitches on each side, had to rip out and fudge it a little. I didn’t bother going back to see if it was the pattern or me, but if you knit this and find difficulties there don’t say I didn’t warn you. This yarn was a bit difficult to get used to at first due to the stretch, but I kind of like how it knits up. It’s also nice and soft too.
All in all a fun knit, and I’m glad I did this just to say I could.

O…my…gosh. Those are the cutest undies I have ever seen. So the question I have is - are they comfy, or purely decorative? I had been thinking about a few knitted undergarments but thought they might be just for show and not really wearable.
So what’s your opinion?

Ha! Those are darn sexy! I’m with Linda in asking, are they comfy?

Darling! Add me to the list of folks who want to know if these are everyday or special occasion undies.

These are absolutely adorable! I don’t have the body to even try anything like this, but I’m glad to see they do turn out well.
Good Job!

Well, they are incredibly comfy as it’s just a stretchy cotton yarn in a fairly well shaped garment. I wouldn’t wear them under my clothes as they’re a bit thick, but they’re a perfect special occasion garment. The husband loves them
