JUMPER PROGRESS

I’m fighting with the front collar placement.  Then I will tame that standup collar attitude in the back.  I left my camera somewhere last weekend, so until I get it back this week, I’m stuck with my phone camera.

I’m using this pattern again, but making a jumper that I can wear with tights, boots, and a long sleeved shirt underneath.

JANATHON

I ran 2.5 miles today in gorgeous sunny, warm weather.  I should have done a long run, but am still catching up on office work.  I’m going to try doing a long run mid-week.  Those mid-week plans often don’t materialize, but I’m going to try nevertheless.  I’d give an update on my pre-holiday weight, but my scale needs a battery.

Some more excellent Janathon blogs:

READING

I’m reading Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker, by Jennifer Chiaverini.  It is an interesting, fast read so far.  Stay tuned.
