First I have to say it has been one year ago today exactly that I wrote my last blog. I've gotten a few complaints....life grabbed me by me girl balls! I will try my best to keep up with blogging stuff.
This blog is in honor to those of you have complained (LOL) and in honor to the the "DRAMA" life has bestowed on me this past year. Hope you enjoy!!
Ok, so we all know boys can give us ladies the blues.....be it your husband, lover, brother, friend or even you pet. However this little number just might give them the blues, blue balls that is. Let's exclude the pet and brother on that comment!
I came up with this fun number while knitting a pair of socks for a friend. The pattern just happened to be called "The Boyfriend Sock" by designer Alice Bell. I was knitting these socks in the same beautiful yarn as the "Naughty Nymph",knit in Cashwool from Lana Borgorsesia, (love how that rolls on the tongue), except in a beautiful denim blue.
As I was knitting the socks, a name "Boyfriend Blues" popped into my head and I thought "What a great name for a pattern." Oh, and let me tell you my juices started flowing....
I played around with that in my head....umm, what would be a good design for a pattern with a title like that, when it hit me! I love wearing a mens clothing, be it his t-shirts, boxers or a button up.....you know what?... they love it too!
My first design and idea was going to be a t-shirt, cause I really love men's t-shirts....they're are the best to sleep in or put on after or before......I had the perfect t-shirt in mind! My favorite t-shirt, "Boyfriend Tissue T" from J. Crew for women. The fabric feels sooo good on my skin, plus it makes me feel SUPER sexy.
I completed the socks, bought more yarn and started measuring the t-shirt, sketching and swatching.
In honor of the socks, I used the inner twinning cables to go up the center front and around the neckline
I now had to do a version of sexy boy shorts, cause boys like those and so do I! The cabling is all around, but I had to make sure to have the inner twinning cables go up the center front and center back.....guess it's something about the cables that twinned together, in and out....hee, hee, hee...

This boyfriend number is sexy and makes me feel SUPER sexy. What I love about the top is I can wear a contrast bra for a "WOW" effect, but if I wear a nude colored bra, I get the real "WOW" when I go out. It's fun, GOTS to keep them guessing!!
