I managed to buy more of the purple yarn for Eirin's sweater. Since the yarn I had was a few years old, the new skeins was a little lighter in colour... I did alternate the two skeins, but I still got a few stripes just before I started the pattern. But it's just in a certain light it shows, so it doesn't bother me.
Eirin has been living in it since I finished it :)
It's knitted in acrylic yarn - not my favourite, but when you have kids with sensitive skin and you really want to knit all the pretty things for them, you just have to find the "right" yarn. She likes this so much that we went out and bought some grey yarn for another sweater :)
