I've been trying to think of something to make my kid for the holidays and her birthday (end of December) that isn't just sending her $$$. I'll do that, but it's tough being away from home at Christmas without any gifts under the tree. So now I'm seeing if I remember how to crochet a wrap with a V-stitch.
Since I've taken an interested in crochet again I'm kind of blown away by how many different yarns there are on the market. Lionbrand has these beautiful skeins of worsted-weight layered in colors, which is what I'm using for my practice piece. I invested in a few more to make some holiday gifts, and slippers for myself when JoAnn put them on sale for 40% off.
Chunky yarns had their own aisle at JoAnn when I went to look, mostly chenille (which I generally avoid because of the flying fluff) but some in other materials I've never seen. It's pretty cool to see how yarns have evolved over the last couple of years.

I've always heard food is very expensive on the islands. If she has any snacks she particularly likes that she can't find there, you can send her a care package. I know she would love it.
I love those colors! And if that's an 'on purpose' octopus sitting there, it's adorable.
I've heard the same thing from my partner. Good idea!
That's my emotional support octopus. :)
