BARC PhD vs OCES program?

I am shortlisted for JRF interview in BARC but my main goal was BARC OCES program which I couldn't qualify for this year. Should I prepare for the JRF interview now or focus on clearing the OCES CBT/GATE next year? I know preparation for this interview is not that big of a deal, I can consider it but in case I get selected, should I even consider joining or only focus on qualifying OCES next year? I also know I should not be so anxious about it before the interview but I just want to hear your opinions about it.

Wool for crochet

Hi guys, I see a lot of crochet items like keychains, flowers, bouquet and other decorative pieces on the internet. It makes me wonder if all of these items are made with wool especially natural wool threads. I am not a crochet expert so idk if there are alternative options available in the market. But I feel that natural wool fiber should not be utilised in this way. I come from a small Himalayan town where the practice of making woollen clothes is ancient and these days the production is low because of less raw material. I feel that natural wool should only be used to make clothes and not decorative pieces that have no use other than looking cute for some time before it starts accumulating dust. They can be made with alternative materials of course. Although I appreciate crocheting such items as a wonderful hobby but we should also be mindful about the environmental impacts of it as well.
