march wrap up

March FOs:

EZ Saddle Shoulder Sweater
3 dishcloths

Well, shit!  Four projects, that’s all I finished?!  That’s not good.  I did do some spinning too, and, umm, I cast on and ripped out a couple of projects several times.  Does that count? No? Okay.

Oh, and the three dishcloths — I don’t remember which ones they were! All I have [...]
