End of month yarn stats:  49 entries, 84 skeins, 23737.50 metres, 9445 grams.

March isn't technically over yet, but I highly doubt I'll be adding to stash or starting/finishing any projects in the next 3-1/2 hours, so we're good.

I added a project to the list that was started in January - somehow I'd forgotten about its existence until now!  It's a super bulk (jumbo?) yarn that I was given and I have it all next to my desk where I should be able to work periodically on it - yeah, that's working out about as well as it sounds.

I think the slump is starting to lose its grip, but it's slow going.  I want to finish a couple of projects in April and start spinning fibre again.

April goals:

1.  Finish the 1898 hat.  (Stretch goal:  finish the Musselburgh.)
2.  Make sure the spinning wheel works still.
3.  Don't buy any yarn.  It's not like I'm using it, anyway!
4.  Don't overthink tomorrow or the 14th, but be there for my brother.

April:  Over, as it should be.  At least, close enough that I'll call it over.  It wasn't horrible, but between slight work drama causing unnecessary waves and all the anniversaries, I'm happy it's done.

Successfully didn't buy yarn again!  And I finished two projects.  I could have finished the fingerless mitts, but I started another project instead.  I didn't check the 'wheel', but I thought about it more, so that counts, yeah?

May goals:

1.  Finish fingerless mitts.
2.  Look at the 'wheel' all month, but don't you dare use it!
3.  Try not to buy yarn.
