I am 60. I am a librarian. I am near retirement. I love classical music. I like to read. I read on holiday. I sew and make clothes. I loom and crochet. I always feel cold and damp. I would enjoy camping. I don't like gore. I like murder mysteries. I am thinking about crocheting a cardigan for summer. I like supporting independent sellers. I crocheted a cardigan for a baby. I crochet most of the time. I am almost done with making a blanket. I never had children. I am a godparent to my best friend's kids.
I listen to classical music. I am a christian.  I like christian rock. I ride a tractor.   I like camping. I like the outdoors. I cook on an open fire outdoors. I like the color red. I have a sister. My sister is pregnant. I enjoy reading thrillers. I don't like gore. I buy sweaters on Etsy. I crochet blankets and scarves. I am working on a baby blanket for my sister's daughter. My sister's daughter is like a daughter to me. I am not a god parent. I have plenty of nieces. I do not have a daughter.
While i was finishing the blanket, I heard an aria on the radio that I hadn't heard in years! The flighty music and the vocals brought my mood up and helped me finish the blanket faster! It's amazing how music can do that sometimes.  Now that you have finished the blanket, what is your next project? I am thinking about starting to make socks and booties for the homeless for christmas. Maybe a few shaws and ponchos. I usually start my donation knitting around June. Have you ever done someting like that? Not for charity, but it's a good Idea, and I think I will.  I want to crochet some booties for the new baby after I'm finished with my niece's blanket.  After that I think I will try your idea. That would be amazing. I think that scarves would benefit those in need. Some of the regular library visitors and the people at my church know what I do, taking things I've made out and handing it out between thanksgiving and christmas. They like it, so they donate lots of yarn. I will probably do way more when I am retired. Have you made anything for your neices? I've made them all blankets at some point.  I won't have time to do that before the baby is born, so I'll just do booties for now, and make it a blanket later.  I don't work very fast.  Do you think the homeless could use some crocheted stocking caps? Oh I bet they could. I think anything is helpful. Have you shown your neices how to crochet? They could help make stuff! I tried to show the oldest one, but she wasn't interested, at least not yet.  She'd rather play games on her mom's phone. Oh yeah, that is how kids tend to be these days. Always on these blasted electronics. I do enjoy being able to contact others, but the rate of time being used to just do stupid things like watching cats fall off beds.. Well it is  a bit ridiculous.  I think I may take her on my next camping trip and try to teach her then when there are fewer distractions.  I like crocheting by the campfire. It's very relaxing. Yes! and hot dogs and smores while telling stories before starting to crochet is so much fun! I haven't been camping in so many years though.  She'll be shocked to find out there's no cell phone transmission at the campsite!  Then she'll be ready to learn to do all those things to keep from being bored.
