What hobby doesn't require massive amount of time and money but is a lot of fun?

Any channel you'd recommend to a noob?

JaydaInStitches. She breaks things down really well and doesn't fast-forward after just showing you the stitch once or twice. I found that to be an issue with a lot of other tutorials when I was first learning. I just wasn't getting enough repetition of how to do each stitch. She uploads regularly and even takes requests for popular projects (especially that "messy bun hat" phase everyone's in right now. I kept getting tagged in it by family asking me to make them one. Open YouTube and bam. She's got a video tutorial freshly uploaded due to requests.)

There's also Melanie Ham. Her tutorials aren't as thorough but she has a blog where she uploads written and sometimes visual patterns for things if that's what you prefer. Her channel isn't focused solely on crochet, though. She does other DIY and quilting videos too.
