During the pandemic, we’ve been spending a lot of time at home, which has allowed us to get in touch with our creative sides. Because we haven’t been able to spend our time going to gyms or clubbing, we’ve been taking up grandma-inspired hobbies. These are the hobbies we can’t seem to get enough of over the past few months, and that we expect will only increase in popularity over time.

Knitting

Sure, our grandmothers taught us how to knit when we were children, but knitting has become trendy again during the pandemic, and we just wish we would have paid more attention to our grandmother’s instructions. Now’s the time to start knitting sweaters, scarves, and blankets for the colder months ahead.

Gardening

We’ve been whipping up tons of new recipes in the kitchen and the freshest produce can be grown in your own garden. Sure, it takes a bit of time, but it’s super relaxing and it’s nice to have fresh herbs and produce at your disposal.

Cooking

During this difficult time, nothing’s quite as comforting as food, and now’s the perfect time to learn some new recipes. There’s nothing better than a fresh batch of homemade cookies.

Tie-Dying

Perhaps the biggest lifestyle trend of 2020 is tie-dying and anyone and everyone has been tie-dying everything from t-shirts and sweatpants to napkins and bedding.

Pottery

You don’t need a throwing wheel or kiln to make your own ceramics—there are tons of at-home kits that have all the tools and clay you need.

Puzzling

Puzzling is one of the best pastimes as it doesn’t require too much attention and you can complete a puzzle while binging on Netflix. When you complete your puzzle, go ahead and frame it so everyone can see your hard work.

Most people discovered new hobbies during the lockdown or reignited their passion for the ones they’ve completely forgotten. Some of the activities we’ve been practicing while social distancing are too good to give up—including these five.

Gardening

Whether it’s starting a big garden outdoors, or just growing a couple of plants in your small apartment, gardening is good for your mind, body, and soul.

Virtual Workouts

After months of working out at home, going to a traditional gym no longer feels necessary and virtual workouts are here to stay.

Knitting

Knitting, embroidering, cross-stitching, and other forms of sewing have become extremely popular amid lockdown, and you should seriously consider taking up some of them for the long-term.

Getting Creative

Painting, drawing, and coloring also allowed us to relax, unwind, and get in touch with our creative side. Even if you’re not extremely artistic, you’ll reap the benefits of keeping these hobbies in your life.

Bread Baking

Most of us baked more bread in the last few months than we did in a lifetime, and going back to store-bought bread full-time simply isn’t good enough.
