I've recently taken up weaving and it's a lot of fun. You can start simple with a frame loom and do more tapestry stuff. I picked up a rigid heddle loom and have done a few fun projects on it. Soon I'm going to build a 4 shaft loom. Weaving has a lot of patterning and strikes, for me, the perfect balance between "I need to pay attention to what I'm doing" and hit a rhythm and zone out. Plus the Jacquard loom was had a lot of influnce on Babbage's Analytical Engine!
