For example, I'm sure the average joe doesn't know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

I just started crocheting this week ๐Ÿฅฒ

It's a wonderful habit! Don't listen to me. Haha. Fiber crafts are seriously awesome. I'm a total novice at crochet, an intermediate knitter (Portuguese style), and I sew half way well. It's so much fun, and so worth it. ... Just read your coupons carefully.

After one project I'm already feeling that about the coupons ๐Ÿ™ƒ But it's really fun and I enjoy it a lot! I can't wait to dive deeper into it

Its so good. I'd recommend you get cotton yarn. It tends to fray less than acrylic and easier to get your hook in and see stitches. Also, amigurumi for making toys is really cool.

There's so many options for amigurumi I don't know where to start! I just need to pick something and go with it haha
