I've decided that it's time to cold-sheep.  I haven't bought (or obtained in any other way) yarn since December 29 (and even that yarn is for a gift.  In June).

Thus, every month I'm trying to finish up some WIPS and small one- or two-ball projects (because sometimes it's more encouraging to start and finish something quick, just to keep the motivation going).

My goal for March is to finish:  Praline Pullover, Abalone, and Triangle Shawl.
