Hi all, what's a hobby you've always wanted to pick up or an activity you've wanted to try?

Austen Brown · February 13

@Rachel Kauer - I'd like to become proficient at crochet, I feel like it would be a good hobby to have in my back pocket after a stressful day.

@Rachel Kauer I need a new hobby! I am watching this conversation for ideas! Thanks!

Allison King · February 14

@Austen Brown I LOVE to crochet. There are some GREAT tutorials on YouTube to help you get started. I really like Bella Coco (I think that's her name). She's British, but she explains things using both British and American terms. She also has videos for lefties too, which really helps me.

I often crochet during meetings because it keeps my hands busy and actually helps keep me focused on the meeting by preventing my ADHD brain from going off and doing other things. But it has to be a simple pattern.

@Rachel Kauer I love the idea of roller skating! I just worry at my age I'll break a hip!

Bobby Steurer · February 17

@Crystal Bruce Whatever! I've seen you at a BBCon before, looking all youthful and sprightly. Strap some skates on and get down to a local rink for disco night!

@Rachel Kauer I've been wanting to try cross stitch for a while. I saw the Caterpillar Cross Stitch channel on YT and it looks like a pretty chill hobby that you can do whenever.

@Crystal Bruce
XD I bought a pair of skates because I myself was looking to get into it again but found myself suddenly nervous trying to skate outside on pavement about injuries. I don't have an indoor rink nearby, (the local one burned down when I was like 13) but if you do, that might be the way to go! The wood floor is more forgiving on skin/joints and always made me less nervous about falling.

@Allison King Oh, cool, I will have to check out her videos for lefties.

Marie Stark · February 18

@Austen Brown I am getting started on that too.

@Rachel Kauer, I want to learn harp and piano! I took a year of piano and violin classes at college several years back, but dropped it later when kids came along and diapers kept me busy. Now my own kiddos are into piano and one of them is just about to start harp classes, and I want to brush up along with them! Needless to say I'll be taking mental notes as I sit in on their classes, lol.

@Rachel Kauer I'd like to learn the ukulele but struggle with the patience required to learn something new. I also inherited an accordion and thought that might be fun to learn as well. Not sure my downstairs neighbors will enjoy me practicing though!

@Carlene Johnson, one of our monks is a closet accordion player. He never plays in public, but one evening I stopped by the office after hours, and I heard him jamming away in his office. He's really good! It's an underappreciated instrument. I hope you get the time to try!

@Faith Murray
I love the mental image I have of this!

@Carlene Johnson I just acquired two ukeleles and so far just having fun strumming.

@Austen Brown I've been crocheting lately, making fun and comforting Arimugami critters. I'm also teaching my niece.

@Crystal Bruce Not that I skate but my son does and we have a rink about an hour away in an old mall and there were easily people twice your age that were crusing all over the place.

@Bobby Steurer I'll have to look up that YT channel as I'm curious!

@Bobby Steurer I was thinking it was a type of stitch. . . it is a whole station! This is great!

Carlene Johnson · July 16

@Elizabeth Johnson I want to hear you play the ukulele! I made a fancy suede vest for my favorite teddy bear PJ. So making bear clothing might be a new hobby!

I recently bought a latch hook kit and now I'm eyeing this other one because it is so cute. Cute Fox🤩

		There is weird functionality in these tables.	I can't get back to the blank cell in the header row.
I'm not able to add a space to text in the header row.	I have to use an Underscore instead of a space in the header row.	Why can't I get to the blank cell in the header row?

Responding to discussion seems pretty easy! 🤩
