Trip to the department store

Today I've had a trip to our local department store. Luckily it's a large(ish) well known chain and for as long as I can remember there has been a large wool supply in the haberdashery department. In fact I do think that potentially my first memories of that store are of the haberdashery department. My grandmother was a keen knitter and my mum - I remember her knitting when I was younger, and it's only in the last few weeks that she's taken to the needles again.

I've picked up two pattern packs today... And I think I may order some yarn online.

I love my knitting memories... Please share yours! Xxx

Projects

Does anyone else ever get that feeling that there are a number of projects that they want to start and can't decide which one to do?
I don't know about anyone else but I often get the feeling when browsing through the various patterns that I'm waiting for one to jump of the page at me; also, I often (as a beginner get a number of small projects going, I eventually finish them; and then I want to move onto something else, this I then find is a step up on the skill ladder and I can't wait to start it. At this moment I am looking at projects which involve cabling or knitting in the round; and I have neither circular needles nor any cable needles! So I'm at a sticking point...
