So im looking for things i can make or do that dont invole a compute ror my phone, i feel like i need to stop staring at a screen as much. i dont have money either and ive been wanting to go to craft fairs but im not sure what to make or how to not look at a screen as much.

also i have depression so i lack motivation to do anyhting, but i want to be motivated im just not sure where to start also i tend to repeat questions because in a werid way, that helps me learn, but it seems to annoy others.

I’ve become a big fan of knitting while watching movies. Two hours later I’ve seen a new movie and have made good progress on a hat!

Came here for this. And basic stuff like hats and scarves is bonkers easy. I literally taught myself enough to make my first scarf in one afternoon on YouTube without ever having seen someone actually knit before. (A bunch of people in my family crochet. I can't make anything with a crochet hook except a mess.)

Crochet hooks are witchcraft.

Nah.

I can do witchcraft.
