My Interests

I have many interests. They change over time. Right now, I can recall two:

  1. Crocheting

    I've recently become obsessed with crocheting. It's an unexpectedly captivating activity. It's especially rewarding to see the results of my work after completing each project. I have many ideas and projects I want to implement, so this hobby will stay with me for the foreseeable future. Surprisingly, I've managed to combine it with another hobby—reading.

  2. Reading

    I love to read. I enjoy almost every genre. The main thing is that the stories are interesting, although I must say, fantasy and non-fiction are my favorites. Lately, I've been enjoying detective stories, mainly because they're often available in audio format. This is how I combine two seemingly incompatible interests—crocheting and reading — thanks to YouTube and the "Listen to this page" feature in Chrome.
