March has come into our lives, with the promise of spring (not that winter ever *really* came here in the DC area, but that's a whole other story). Along with March, comes the beginning of , the brainchild of . I had heard about this idea on several different blogs over the last month, but wasn't 100% sure what it was all about.

This is the start of . I got the yarn last month at the , and really wanted to make this bag. Project Spectrum has just given me the perfect excuse to abandon all other projects and start this one.

And I'm just finding any excuse to think about something else. So once I'm finished with Sueet Suede, I'm jumping into the packing full speed ahead. Unless, of course, the guilt of not finishing my niece's socks overtakes me. Then I'm all about the niece-y socks
