To start off the final week of March Madness, I drew the ever-popular blank slip of paper, which lets me stitch on anything I want! However, because I was feeling brain dead, I asked Michael what I should stitch. His reply was, "America!" LOL! "OK," I said immediately, "upstairs America or downstairs America?" Which completely makes sense because I have a sort of split stash right now; part is upstairs and part is downstairs. He chose upstairs.
March 26th brought us back to Moss Creek, where I did some chain stitch borders.
The next day I didn't actually work on a project. I lost heart because this chosen piece of knitting had been nibbled by moths a couple places, despite the cedar wood I keep with it!
The next day we were back to hardanger!
Next it was Christmas in...April with Victoria Sampler's Heirloom Christmas Sampler.
On Good Friday, I was too exhausted to stitch at the end of the day, so I took a break. The final day of March Madness, the SCOD once again coughed up a blank slip of paper! What a finale!! And what did I choose to stitch? Prancer!
I have decided to make Prancer a WIP Wednesday project to take a break once a week from the breakneck speed knitting I'm going to have to do to finish Loopy Academy Senior Year. I am looking at the projects I chose and saying, "WHAT WAS I THINKING??!?!!!"
So there it is, folks, the final March Madness post. What do you think...could you do this for a month? I think I need to do some mad weekends every now and then. The SCOD gets really lonely between Marches.

| I really think I should get a prize for not starting anything new when the Sparkly Compote of Decree gave me not one but TWO blank slips of paper AND a project I'd already completed. I am a paragon of virtue, I tell you (says the woman with too many WIPs to count). |

You did save some gorgeous projects to the end! Love the Moss Creek, the Hardanger and the wonderful tree. And Prancer to round it all off.
I'm doing 31 Just Nan small starts for Maynia this year, care to join me?
Stunning hardanger and i am quite partial to the Christmas tree too.
This madness month ended with some wonderful projects. And I hope that you can still save your knitted piece in spite of the moths trying to destroy it.
Mad Weekends sounds like a great idea! I've LOVED seeing what you've been working on and you always have such a wide variety of projects. Nicely done!
More lovely projects! I hope you can get the holesi n the knitting fixed, it looks gorgeous. How wide is it, actually? Maybe you could finish it as a loop or a hooded scarf?
So well done, I must say that Christmas in April tree is my favorite, so nice. xxx
