Need help Coming up with a hobby?

Fly ties

 

nvm

 

Drawing or painting.

 

my Paw Paw was a fantastic embroiderer, dont tell him its 'girly'

if you are hung up on gender roles then you are building your own obstacles. i guess you could sand a "manly" bookshelf. swing a "manly" hammer. personally i revel in having a broad range of skills, not just those that society deems appropriate. you seek hobbies compatible with your limitations, within your perceived limitations.

 

Drawing and painting is out i suck, Sorry about my comment about embroidery, its just i was looking my a skill most people would consider cool and most of montana is still old fashioned still i guess. I am kinda instrested in crocheting but i am unsure if i am able to do it. I will do some research.

 

bird watching, get hooked up with some autoban hottie

 

somebody has to ask

what happened to your other hand?

 

he already answered that

OP, i apologize. i just get a little snarky when people are falsely restricted. many "crafts" are dominated by women, but its not BECAUSE they are women, its because they tended the home for so long, they HAD to make blankets, darn socks, scrounge for fabric scraps to make quilts or rugs, while the men did the men's work. they were too busy to darn their own socks, so women did it. my dad can sew, though he doesnt enjoy it. i dont like that anyone would be looked down on for something that they enjoy. i enjoy getting into a pile of scrap wood and making cool stuff. most 'hobbies' though belong to those with time to indulge them, typically men have not had much time to do so, so they get fishing, hunting, stamp collecting. stuff you can set aside a weekend for, but that doesnt really drag on the way, say, a quilt does to completion. even building furniture is easier and faster in many ways.

if you do try crochet, i would start with a bigger hook first, especially since you have to teach your hand how to use it. i guide the yarn with my left (not dominant) hand, with palm facing you the yarn from the ball goes between pinkie and ring finger, rests in front of ring and middle fingers, goes between middle and index and drawn to the front of your thumb. you can use middle+thumb to grasp the the yarn or adjust your work, which is controlled by your working hand. its not a lot of work for the non-working hand, it just keeps the tension appropriate. i first learned to crochet when i was 6/7 years old. i recommend motif work if you like instant gratification, its a lot more satisfying to make a shit-ton of granny squares than one giant one, because after awhile it just takes forever to make it all the way around.
plus, you can make market bags and things and sell them, and crochet is great for improvising. my PawPaw had to use a walker before he died, i whipped up a bag to hang on the front of it for his paper in an evening, with yarn probably older than me.

of course, you could birdwatch too. just find something you enjoy, and try to find a way to modify it if its beyond what you can do.
