What do you do for fun??
Make something. Make anything. Something made by hand is something that did not exist before. Is this not a wonder?
*ahem*
Sorry. Attempt at humor = FAIL.
But seriously, for a hobby, you can't beat making things. Making can be a path to meditation if you can empty your mind of everything except the matter at hand. Builds concentration. Can make someone interested in improving a skill. If you make something for your practice of the Art, it's a bonus.
Just remember safety glasses if you start knapping flint, polishing crystals, or running power tools...
As for knitting, just for fun, should you take it up, see how many symbols you can knit into a blanket. I've seen people do that and it's pretty cool.
