It was a little bit bummer: my car wouldn't start, overwhelming classes and one of my dad's dogs died. It ended up better, AAA and Ashton saved the day. <br /><br />Either way, I finished Annie's REAL TALK mittens. I used size 5s with a worsted weight so they are really really stiff and warm. <br /><br />I used Debbie Stoller's new yarn, <a href="http://www.stitchnationyarn.com/Yarns/full-o-sheep.html">Full o' Sheep.</a> So far, I am really impressed with her yarns. I am using Alpaca Love for my Beatnik, so I've tried most of them. Full o' Sheep reminds me a lot of Lamb's Pride worsted weight, but better because it doesn't have that annoying alpaca element that sheds everywhere. The colors are super saturated and awesome. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20927465@N02/5352210808/" title="Photo 341 by isearchtobelost, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5088/5352210808_2a5e0391df.jpg" width="400" height="275" alt="Photo 341" /></a><br /><br />In case you don't know what REAL TALK MEANS (and you probably shouldn't if you are a sane individual) listen to this gem of modern music.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ikI4fN5YurY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ikI4fN5YurY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20927465@N02/5352205832/" title="Photo 342 by isearchtobelost, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5288/5352205832_b5a6fd12f1.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Photo 342" /></a><br /><br />I found this Free People dress at VDO.

It is going to be a labor of love, but I am looking forward to it. I won't be able to work on it at work, so it will take considerably longer. I can't be on the phone with people and read complex cables.<br /><br />I'm using Debbie Stollers new Red Heart Yarn, Alpaca Love. It is 80% wool and 20% alpaca and so far I am very impressed. It is going to take me 9 skeins but it is pretty affordable at $4.99 a pop.<br /><br />Stay tuned!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09800603072847552572noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844366618168814852.post-89945131286657662992010-10-07T13:12:00.003-04:002010-10-07T13:23:50.729-04:00Two posts in one day?

It has a layer of tulle with flowers and it is poufy as hell. I wanted to wear it to the Slackers show, so I made my friend Jack dress up with me. We looked so cool walking to the show that strangers literally took our picture.<br /><br />The show was incredible, as always. I think I have seen them like 7 times or something? It makes me nostalgic for those times.

The skirt is a really lovely and intensely purple suede pencil skirt that is a little bit too big for me so it slings low. I kind of like it.<br /><br />I don't know where I got the tights, but I am digging the diamonds.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09800603072847552572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844366618168814852.post-15939510592464840532010-09-28T00:35:00.004-04:002010-09-28T00:45:10.758-04:00New HouzI moved into a new place a few months back.

She is the coolest and sells vintage clothing out of her van. When she gets a site, I will link it here 10,000 times because she has some really really cool stuff.<br /><br />This dress is shimmery and wonderful. I wore it with goodwill boots and a yellow necklace I traded for at an art show last year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20927465@N02/5002661525/" title="47567_1528882494302_1001882031_31489459_4307133_n by isearchtobelost, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/5002661525_858562da4d.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="47567_1528882494302_1001882031_31489459_4307133_n" /></a><br /><br />I traded my new work friend Hannah a macrame necklace for this hat. It suits her so well.<br /><br />I cast on 84 with a US 7. After the ribbing, I switched to a US 9 and increased by adding yarn overs around every other knit stitch. I used stash yarn and just went crazy. I think it shows. This picture was taken from her facebook, she gave me permission to be that creepy.<br /><br />It feels good to see her wearing it every day at work. This hat has sparked many more orders:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20927465@N02/4984645527/" title="Photo 263 by isearchtobelost, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/4984645527_867d17ff7a.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Photo 263" /></a><br /><br />I made this out of Berocco Comfort.

I don't have a camera, but I'll make due.<br /><br />It seems weird to say, but sometimes I get a bit too hyped up to knit. I have so much energy sometimes that it is hard to sit down and create instead of running my crazy mouth all the time. But the thing is, sitting down, breathing in and out with my stitching helps me calm down. So lets see if being obsessed with knitting again helps out my senior year of college. Crazy, huh?<br /><br />Either way, I quit working my shitty big-box retail job and started working as the devil herself. I kid, but pretty much. I do push-polls. For republicans.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20927465@N02/4899484256/" title="Photo 246 by isearchtobelost, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4899484256_7985b55979.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Photo 246" /></a><br /><br />But I can knit. So, it I am a productive devil at least.<br /><br />This sweater is <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall03/PATTsonnet.html">Sonnet</a> from an old issue of <a href="www.knitty.com">Knitty</a>. I am knitting it with Louisa Harding 'Hulda' I bought at Tuesday Morning. Did you know they had nice yarn there? Maybe it is hit or miss.<br /><br />I am doing 2 rows of each color and doing bits of seed stitch instead of the recommended box stitch. I should have enough to finish the sweater, but I might have to skimp on the sleeves. Maybe I will make one sleeve cream and the other brown? Decisions, decisions<br /><br />But I am happy to making these kinds of decisions again.<br /><br />Stay tuned.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09800603072847552572noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844366618168814852.post-56257774510259017392010-05-10T17:07:00.003-04:002010-05-10T17:10:32.440-04:00Still no camera, butI am working on another coahcella.
