I've been trying to think of something to make my favorite person 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 neat to see how yarns have evolved over the last couple of years.
