The former First Lady of the USA, Michelle Obama, discovered a new passion for herself in Corona times: knitting.
She picked up the needles to pass the time in the pandemic, said the wife of US ex-President Barack Obama in an interview with “People” magazine.
And now she is addicted.
Michelle Obama explained that there is no end to knitting.
“You don't know how to knit, because as soon as you have made a scarf, there is a blanket.
And as soon as you make the blanket, you have to make the hat, the socks. "
Michelle Obama revealed that she is currently knitting her first crew-neck sweater for her husband.
She's just figuring out how to knit the sleeves and round neck.
"I could always talk about knitting."
Conversations with the children without a “mother-daughter” dynamic

The former first lady also spoke of how the pandemic had helped her and her husband to regain “stolen moments” with their daughters Malia (22) and Sasha (19).
The two children returned home from college to isolate themselves with their parents in the family estates in Washington and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Now that Malia and Sasha have matured into independent young adults, she is enjoying conversations with them that are more “partner-oriented” and less characterized by a “mother-daughter” dynamic.
She told her daughters that she was heading for retirement, said Michelle Obama.
She only dedicates herself to selected projects and at the same time chases after the summer.
Her new Netflix cooking show for children, "Waffles + Mochi", premieres on Tuesday, and the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago is still under construction.
"Barack and I never want to experience winter again"

Obama also addressed the "low-threshold depression" she experienced during corona lockdowns and after the killing of George Floyd by a white policeman in Minneapolis in May 2020.
In addition, the conversation turned to her turning away from hard physical training.
In her time as first lady, pictures of her impressive biceps and high-intensity fitness workouts went viral - but that was once upon a time.
In self-isolation, she taught herself to swim several laps.
Because "at my age I find that the high-intensity stuff that I once did not work." Michelle Obama is 57.
So the signs point to retirement in warmer climes.
"Barack and I never want to see winter again," said Michelle.
They now laid the foundation for someone else to continue their work so that they could retire and be together.
"And Barack can golf too much, and I can tease him that he golfs too much because he has nothing else to do."
