What are your hobbies?

Which one is the most expensive? Which one is the least expensive?

    I personally cycle through lots of hobbies depending on my interests at the time. I draw/paint, play instruments, write fiction, and garden. I also spent some time last year trying to make my own video game. I guess gardening would be my most expensive hobby, but I try not to spend much.

    My favorite hobby is spending time at the firing range. Ammo has gotten pretty expensive though and I can't get new toys now that the freeze is in place.

    Such a shame, Olympic dreams are fading for many.

    I like collecting comic books, any other comic lovers here at Fizz?

    Watching series online would be the cheapest, but going out and doing activities is often expensive 😭

    I feel guilty spending money on games for myself nowadays, but I like puzzle games. I sometimes play Roblox with my kid sister, though. Love that it's free.

    My most expensive hobby is knitting/crocheting. I'll walk around a store and buy yarn just because I like the colors then the yarn will sit in the closet for months since I don't actually know what project I want to make with it 😅

    :D Yeah, I bought several balls of yarn from the thrift store some years ago and still haven't used them up! I occasionally use them just as regular string.

    Sewing is a great skill to learn! What kinds of things have you made? Where do you find vintage fabrics? Vintage clothing stores?

    Totally so useful! I wish learned it years ago! simple bags for groceries and trying to make loose wide leg summer pants lol. I check out value village, often you can find fabric in the bed/bath area. Some people use duvet covers. It's a good way to practice stress free lol also you can find some good deals. I don't like patterns so I watch some simple Youtube and just experiment lol. it's fun and stress free. it's also nice to be able to do simple fixes. How about yourself?

    You can trace your current clothes as a pattern and just add some seam allowance! I made a pair of pants that way (also followed a YouTube tutorial). But the sewing machine I had access to is always missing parts, so I just stick to quicker hand sewing projects like shortening new pants to fit my height and making other small things I need like gloves and a neck warmer. I managed to make myself a pair of convertible mittens B)

    I have alof of hobbies. Fishing, anything tech. I've been building computers since 1997, it's a pretty expensive hobby for or used to be. I've been using the same pc now for at least 5 year's and it still does everything I need.. Learning a wide variety of things is how I spend most of my time whether it's history, science, anything mysterious and unknown and anything tech. I dove into the AI rabbit hole about a year ago and now run open source LLMs on my pc. It's constant learning. It's evolving so fast it's nearly impossible to keep up. But that keeps it fun too. And it's essentially free thanks to huggingface.co. And civitai. I've never been very artistic but I started experimenting with artistic Ai software and it's alot to learn but it's fun. I'm really enjoying it and thanks to the above web pages it's free. I use comfyui and automatic1111 with stability matrix and open source language models which I have about 500gb of and there's always something to do whether learning or creating. These mainstream ais don't scratch the surface of what you can do on your own pc with open source.
    Sorry this is so long. Even after a year of this it's still exciting to me.
