I’m guessing the knitting and reloading being the odd ones?
Reloading first. I built a .300 Blackout back when ammo was rare and expensive so I started loading my own (via 5.56 brass conversion) in order to afford to feed it.
Knitting was maybe two years later. The spouse and friends signed up for a knitting class but only told me later. At that point the class was full so I said “fine I’ll learn it myself” and here we are. I recently 3d printed a circular knitting machine in an attempt to speed up sock making… still working out the kinks but I have high hopes.
Yep, those were the two.
Love that you applied a high-tech solution to a very low-tech problem, and it seems to be working well - and that a little stubornness got you a new hobby.
Hope I did not come across judgemental in any way, I’m definitely not. Actually makes a lot of sense to switch gears a bit with hobbies, to avoid boredom and getting stuck in uninteresting patterns over time…
