It's actually starting to look cardigan-like! I also restarted Betty - worked flat this time. I don't know why working flat seems so much easier and faster to me. Quite counter-intuitive. I'm getting close to the yoke bind off:
But the weather has been very summer-like here, so at the moment I'm concentrating on getting Adrift done with hopes of wearing it at least once before autumn returns!
I hated my mani so much yesterday that as soon as I got home I took it off and replaced it with this:

Interestingly, I got a lot of compliments on yesterday's mess of a mani! But I like this one better, especially after I added sparkly tips this morning:

I've been wanting to try this out ever since I saw it on Pinterest a couple months ago. I did it a little differently from the tutorials I read, which said to wipe most of the glitter polish off the brush and then stroke backward from the tip of the nail. I felt like I'd get glitter underneath my nails doing it that way, so instead, I wiped off about half the glitter and then dotted it along the tip of the nail. I dotted the tips of two nails, and then went back to the first one and pulled the glitter down, and then pulled down the second. I think the few seconds of dry time in between helped the glitter to set a little so that it didn't pull all the way down the nail. I'm really loving this!
Looks like the knitting is progressing. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI like your mani and will have to try your way for the glitter tips. I always have problems with achieving semi-random looks. I over think them!
Being random is a LOT of work!!
ReplyDeleteYour "Adrift" is looking good!
ReplyDeleteI had enough yarn left for sleeves! I'm very excited!
