Knitting? Perhaps the most perfect van/camp hobby!
So far, I’ve found loom knitting to be just what I need at this point: it’s fast, thus fulfilling my need for instant gratification; it’s easy, thus making me feel successful right from the start; it’s calming, thus allowing me a way to relax and de-stress after long days at work. However, I’ve learned two hard lessons right away: I totally understand how folks can spend a lot of money on yarn and knitting notions (ah, one more hobby with “gear” to buy!), and knitting each night for a few hours at a time definitely cuts into my reading/sleep time. Compromise? Knit while listening to audiobooks and podcasts—a win-win!
