I often get the feeling that my kids are in an eternal need of new clothes; at certain ages clothes seem to disappear, get ripped and outgrown very easily. 
I like to knit to the kids, but it is not very rewarding to make complicated garments that is outworn (or not liked…) almost before I have finished them! So this time I brought one of the girls to the yarn store to choose the yarn herself (with some discrete guidance… or it would have been silk, pearls, nylon etc…). Luckily it was a sale an I got high quality, soft alpaca/cashmere yarn for a very reconable price… even in a colour she liked!
Now I plan the theme for April to be something in that direction, maybe spring jackets for girls…?Still a few more days until I will make a decision!
But new yarn is one of my prime sources of inspiration, and although I haw wary too many unfinished projects I have to confess that I have started knitting, just testing the gauge and to see if I like knitting with a thicker yarn than I usually use…
