What is a good hobby/skill that most people should give a try, and why so? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

Well, I don't want to be That Person but technically I made a (long) video for total crochet beginners that I know quite a few people have used to great success. It's frontloaded with theory though and more for people like me who learn by understanding the "why" of what they're doing.

If you prefer to do it in shorter chunks or without all the tedious theory, which let's face it most people do, I've heard really good things about this Bella Coco series which has, um, slightly more views than mine 😅

There's a fairly new (aren't they all) crochet community over at !crochet@lemmy.ca (direct link) that seems very nice so far, I'm sure they'd love to help with your first attempts too!
