That's scare mongering. Want to create a panic in the biscuit aisle?
Worse still, there will be fakes on eBay at twice the price.
Government should do something about it

Fake news. Aimed at pushing us into panic buying.
Assume you work in Aldi and trying to boost sales.

You'd be surprised at the number of youngsters - students at UCLAN very often - who come to the two knitting and crochet groups I attend in the city centre.
One of the groups is specifically for absolute beginners, and I attend as a 'teacher'. Most of the youngsters come a few times to pick up the basics, pick it up fast, then only return when/if they encounter problems or a difficult pattern, and occasionally if they happen to be passing they'll pop in and say hello. At the beginning of each academic year there are always at least half a dozen medical students who are advised to attend and gain competence in either knitting, hand-sewing or crochet in order to improve their fine motor skills for needle and medical equipment handling ... it seems to work as they (new ones) keep being sent!
There are a heap of good you-tube videos; the only thing to tell your niece, if you want to appear knowledgable, is to be careful about terminology in crochet between US and UK ...we use the same words, but for different stitches! Also suggest she joins Ravelry, which is a massive, free, knitting. crochet and weaving site (free, and as anonymous as she wants to be) with a HUGE database of free patterns, all beautifully sortable.

I love Ravelry. It's both useful and beautiful, and very reliable. I know quite a few much younger knitters too, and it's nice to see wool shops opening again.
Anyway, here is today's mundane diversion. Gritter routes in Scotland. Most definitely worth a click for the names alone.

The Biscuit Isles? They are just off the south east coast of Iceland.

Crochet and kits?
I am wondering if all the components of a "kit" would be less expensive to buy at a local wool shop, rather than on-line from Hobby wotsit etc?
I knit, but can only manage the basics in crochet. Othercrotchety people who crochet would be able to advise.

They're between the South Sandwich islands and the Isles of Langerhans
