I love to crochet, my favorite thing to make is sweaters.
I love it too. It's annoying though, since my phone autocorrects it to crotchet, which is the musical quarter note.
Wow! Mine does that too and I never knew what a crotchet was! Tell me more about it!
Well about crochet, its the process of creating fabric with interlocking loops.
What other types of crocheted items can you make other than sweaters?
Well since it involves yarn or thread, really anything made with that!
I wonder how yarn is made to begin with?
Modern yarn is actually made the same way as normal yarn except that it is often coated with lubricant to withstand stress.
That's cool, how was yarn made in the past? | Yarn
Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, suitable for use in the production of textiles, sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, or ropemaking. Thread is a type of yarn intended for sewing by hand or machine. Modern manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other lubricants to withstand the stresses involved in sewing. Embroidery threads are yarns specifically designed for needlework.

I think it is interesting that beards can be apart of a religion. What do you think about them?>
I think beards are very cool, I'm apprehensive of anything being tied to religious belief though.
I get that. Some people feel really strongly about beards, like the Beard Liberation Front that campaigns to support beards.
Wait, there is a beard liberation front? What do they do?
Yes, I was surprised too. It is a British group founded in 1995 that campaigns to oppose discrimination against people who wear beards.
That is strange, I wasn;t aware that people had been being discriminated against due to them having beards.
I did not know it was that big of an issue. They even have a Beard of the Year award.
Now that is a pretty cool idea.

Swimming is the self-propulsion of a person through water, usually for recreation, sport, exercise, or survival. Locomotion is achieved through coordinated movement of the limbs, the body, or both. Humans can hold their breath underwater and undertake rudimentary locomotive swimming within weeks of birth, as a survival response.

Have you ever driven a Taxicab? | Taxicab
A taxicab, also known as a taxi or a cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a single passenger or small group of passengers, often for a non-shared ride. A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. This differs from other modes of public transport where the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport and share taxis provide a hybrid bus/taxi mode. | Grad, the Zagreb downtown, mostly built in the 19th century, features a quasi-rectangular street plan, but the rest of the city depends on the form of wide straight avenues intersecting densely built neighborhoods composed of mostly chaotical street systems.

I would love to visit a desert sometime. | Desert
A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one-third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid. This includes much of the polar regions where little precipitation occurs and which are sometimes called polar deserts or "cold deserts". Deserts can be classified by the amount of precipitation that falls, by | Jabr-e Joghrafiyaei
