what are some cheap, fun hobbies to get into?

Answer 1

If you enjoy being outside and being around nature, you can always take up hiking or bird watching. If you find that you enjoy it, you can always make an investment in some binoculars or a camera down the line.

I've heard that geocaching can be kind of fun as well - it's kind of an outdoor treasure hunt. Sometimes you need a GPS unit, but not always (sometimes just a simple compass and a map).

I happen to enjoy knitting, and while you have to buy different knitting needles and yarn, you can shop around and get some deals.

Crossword and SoDuko puzzles are somewhat addictive and good exercise for your braing - you can often download them off the internet for free.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Well I suppose that depends on your age and what you like to do.
Running is always great. Knitting is fun and not too expensive. Scrapbooking if you're into pictures. Volunteering can be a lot of fun- look into what you have in your area. Reading-libraries are usually free! Writing stories poems etc. Hiking. I guess a lot of activities have little costs attached to them...but what really doesn't anymore...You could do a lot of nature stuff or sports stuff.

Knitting is one of my favourites. It's cheap to get started as you only need a set of needles and a ball of wool. You can add to your stuff as you go along. It's very portable, you can do it anywhere (except on aeroplanes as you may hijack the pilot with a particularly complex cable stitch). You can make some really fantastic and useful stuff. I'm knitting a sleeveless hoodie for my nephew for christmas right now. My daughter's even had people commision her to knit stuff for them, for money!

I love to do cross stitch. If you really get into it by buying the yarn, patterns, loops, etc. it can be pricey. However you can buy the little ready to stitch kits sold everywhere from hobby stores to wal-mart. They include everything from the needle to the pattern and only cost a few dollars. Sometimes I perfer to do them because they are less time consuming, and get you closer to your finished product!
