My girlfriend has been getting into crocheting recently, and I've been learning a lot about it and craft stuff in general.

I've always been a computer guy... I'm bad with my hands. Could never do origami. Part of the reason I dropped out of Boy Scouts was I didn't want to learn how to make knots. I was terrible in art class, I can't draw and I honestly have trouble just visualizing things (I was not great in geometry either). It's difficult for me to be creative like that. So that's my background, lol.

I could play music (and that's a hobby I still want to pursue), but lately I've been wondering if there was a craft that was better for people like me. Like, I got these cute handmade plushies as a gift recently, and I want to do something like that.

(honestly it seems like crocheting and knitting might not be bad options, but just wondering what else is out there!)

e; one thing I've considered is making something with electronics (I know enough about circuits to be dangerous), but the thing you run into quickly is you don't really want to just give somebody a circuit board, lol. At some point, it seems like all the interesting projects move towards 3D printing which I find intimidating.

I've found painting mini's (like Warhammer) to be really fun. You get the structure of the model to work from, but you get a creative outlet with the painting. There is a ton of painting technique to work on and learn, and you get a game to play for extra motivation. Plus at the end of the day you have a nice display piece to look at for the shelf.

building complicated lego set could be an interesting start.
