Benefit

Why Benefit? Some time ago I watched "Friends with Benefits", like this movie so much, but I liked even more Mila Kunis's blouse in one set. After some online searching and sleepless nights decided to knit something much more improved by myself.

To the basic 80's years blouse construction I added corrugations at the hips and shoulders line, there's a little lacy motive on the shoulders and finally sleeves are shaped by both short rows and added stitches. My dreamy blouse became a true and now I have one very comfortable, nice looking knitted cloth which is perfect for the weather like today in Poland (27C).

Close up at hips and sleeves construction.
Only two photos today because we need to set up on the line me-camera-hubby, today shots were to bright, only these two were quite good to show off here.
But another version of Benefit is in making process already...

Dlaczego Benefit? Zobaczyłam bluzkę Mili Kunis w "Friends with Benefits", przeszukałam sieć i nie znalazłam podobnej. Po kilku bezsennych nocach postanowiłam sama zmierzyć się z wymyślnym już projektem. I cóż mi się w głowie urodziło? Ano postanowiłam wzmocnić efekt poprzez dodanie marszczeń na linii bioder i ramion, na ramionkach także wstawiłam ażur, a rękawy ukształtowane są i poprzez dodawanie oczek, jak również poprzez rzędy skrócone. Jest mega wygodna i idealna wprost na dzisiejszą pogodę. Musimy się jeszcze dotrzeć na linii ja-aparat-małż, a jak to uczynimy, przedstawię Wam moją kolejną wersję Benefit-u (już się powstaje).

New toy

While I'm patiently waiting for a nice weather to take some photos of my newest design, must share with you the new toy Peter did for my spinnig adventure:

Gdyby nie ta paskudna pogoda, mój post byłby dziś o czymś innym, ale nie ma tego złego...
Nowa zabaweczka, produkcji mojego osobistego konstruktora - Piotrka:

. ..and weights exactly 36 grams, must be quite good weight to spin lacy lace yarns!

Waży, bagatela, 36 g, nada się chyba na przędzenie tych lacy lace aka sieci pajęczych!

Here are my both drop spindles together, only for comparision.

Now I'm off for finishing latest touches in newest pattern, second one is still waiting to be finished , not to mention crochet and knitting UFOs and even unfinisheddoll! Ha, have you got more UFOs then me?

 Dwa cudownie skręcające urządzenia, tak dla porównania. 

Zmykam do końcowych pociągnięć w moim najnowszym projekcie, mam drugi w połowie napisany, wiele drutowych i szydełkowych UFO-ków i nawet nieskończoną lalę! Ha, kto mnie pobije w ilości UFO-ków?

Day without music is a wasted one

If you ever thought that craft is an occupation I must do every day, well... you were wrong...

I truly love listening to music and must listen it every day. Everything I do while music surrounds myself, I do much better, faster and smooth. So, it's win win :)
 Whenever I hear Bono of U2 I'm thinking if someone in the world could ever have better voice compared with such amazing music? Lately I enjoy listening to Justin Bieber's. He has such amazing voice. I like Pitbull rap. I also enjoy listening to Usher. At primary school I was singing in choir and our school choir won 6th place in Poland at these days. So I grew up with music and whenever hear clear beautiful voice I'm passed by shivers.

Let's turn into another subject. Yesterday I took Adrian and Joasia to cinema to watch Madagaskar 3. Oh, boy! I haven't seen such queue since PRL times! And guess what, we didn't get our reserved the day before tickets, the sweet young lady told they had some system issues. We were left without tickets and without any free ones in perspective! I could understand such Madagaskar 3 traffic but say it to my kids! Sweet lady offered only one option: tickets for 3D version if somehow there won't appear nobody for reserved earlier tickets! Hoping that nobody was to late with reserved tickets when we went to watch ;) And the movie was great, we had a BLAST! But I smuggled my yarn and needles and just look what was knitted during 3D movie watching:

... a little square for my smoky blanket. Knitted with two mistakes but who cares, they will remind me of Madagaskar 3. And I swear I watched it very carefully. Referring to music - Katy Perry's "Firework" in this movie was outstanding.

Hot, hotter, hottest

While temperatures outside gets to 36C, I'm not able to work effectively during day time. I work mainly at mornings and at nights. That is why I've got so many UFO's and unwritten patterns so far. It's to hot for me however today is a bit colder and much work will be done. So at nights during Olimpic watching I've tried my hands in dying again. This color above was supposed to be greys gradient but I received much more heathers gradient. So far so good and for me it's OK :) This yarn is Adriafil DLG.

Upały wcale nie zachęcają do intensywnej pracy, ale poranki wieczory tak. Póżnym wieczorkiem, kiedy dzieci już spały pobawiłam się znów w farbiarza/farbiarkę - miał mi wyjść gradient w szarościach, a wyszedł wrzosowo-szary gradient. Jak dla mnie może być :) Wełna to Adriafil DLG.

The next one dyed wool is pastels which I spinned in thick-thin theme. Hoping that this nice and accepted by me temperature (28C) will stay for longer.

Kolejna ufarbowana wełna, to moja radosna produkcja typu cienko-grubo (narazie inaczej nie umiem) w pastelach. 
Niech tylko ta chłodniejsza temperatura zostanie na dłużej...
