Maybe there is too much togetherness and she needs to be with people her own age more. It could be the reason for her attitude.

I knit cowls... it goes a whole lot faster, uses less yarn so you can either save on the cost of the yarn or really splurge as you mostly just need one skein of yarn to make a cowl.
