It’s been a while since my last knitting on trains post! I’ve missed them! So without further ado:
10.01 Westbury to London Paddington
16.36 London Paddington to Westbury
Project is Sophora hat by Woolly Wormhead in I Knit Or Dye sock yarn on 3mm Knit Pro Karbonz circular
PS gratuitous nail polish shot for Salpal! 😉
lol – thanks! You are always so pulled together – matching polish to knitting. 🙂

Now, don’t you go starting rumours that I match my polish to my knitting! 😉

hee hee hee or do you decide which project to work on based on your nail color? More likely: You have nails and knitting in the colors you love, and so they naturally match. 🙂

Well, that’s an interesting one. I own 8 nail varnishes, one pink, one neon orange, one bright purple, three other purple ish ones, including purpley blue, the one I’m wearing today and the nearly black one. And now you write that I realise they’re a very good reflector of the colours I wear. Who knew. My favourite colour is teal and I have nothing I wear in that colour! My favourite top is silver grey and yet I claim all the time that I don’t like grey. Hmmmmmmmm

lol – Isn’t it strange? Navy blue is my favorite color, yet I just made my one and only navy top! And I only have one Navy skirt, while I have several black and gray ones. Of course, some of this is because we can only buy what someone else thinks is a fashionable color. I guess teal hasn’t been “in” for a while. Which means it will be eventually, right?

Possibly, or that you wear colours that suit you rather than colours you like to look at? I’m not sure I would wear teal. I certainly would not wear green or blue nail varnish (makes your fingers look gangrenous!) Hmmmm we need a colour expert. My favourite winter coat is navy and yet I would never choose navy as a colour. Hahaha – well my coat cost me £5 in a huge sale a few years ago. I love it so much I keep wearing it even if it is really scruffy now!

The yarn and pattern are gorgeous. The nail varnish is the unchippable for a week sort which lasts about 2 days on my fingers 😉

You probably can. If it’s out there my sister will know. She’s something high up in FE management but she was a beauty therapy lecturer first and still teaches some classes. I get my nail varnish from her through their college salon. 🙂

I’ve noticed that your nails are always beautifully manicured. How the ^&% do you manage that!?

LOL I’m obviously a good photographer. I love nail varnish and wear it a lot of the time, but because I’m Vitamin B12 and D deficient they flake and break so I tend to have quite short nails. I try and keep them in a vague shape and I use Vinylux which is a week long wear practically unchippable brand, that dries solid in 8 minutes! It lasts about 2 days on me – I am tough on my nails! So the truth is I use a shiny brand and change it frequently!

I wouldn’t mind trying the Vinylux stuff. I use Sally Hansen Insta-Dry which, for the amazingly low price of R68, keeps my nails decent for up to a week. Life isn’t worth living without it.
