I love this item, but I don't think it looks good with my short hair. What do you think?
I am on the lookout for a pattern for two color knits in a DK weight. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Auditioning Knits
View from the Charles by Jennifer Lassonde. BostonJen from the Down Cellar Studio Podcast has a new shawl design and I can't wait to cast it on! I'm going to use some newly purchased yarn (specifically for this pattern) that I got from the Black Mountain Yarn Shop in Black Mountain, NC.

Las Knitting Amigas is a new video podcast that I've been enjoying, Joji Locatelli is one of hosts with her friend Veronica, and it's an all Spanish podcast.

Non-Knitting Segments
What a Crock
Love it or Leave it
Love it: My Best Friend listens to the podcast, and she's not a knitter!
Leave it: I have to stop wearing my high heels to work! Too much pain!
Other News and Notes
Running Updates I completed my longest run to date, 12 miles, on Saturday and this will be my longest run before my 13.1 on November 7 in Savannah Georgia!
Book Notes
I finally finished reading Written in my Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon. It took me over a year to finish this book, my heart just wasn't in it.
I started reading The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant and I'm really enjoying it so far.
I started listening to some new to me non-knitting podcasts:
I'm really enjoying all three.
Other
Josh and I attended a wedding last weekend in Maggie Valley, NC. It's a really cute town and we also took some detours to Black Mountain and Asheville, one of my favorite places in North Carolina.
Thank you so much for listening!
