Top 5 Hobbies Everyone Swears They'll Start This Winter

The cozy-season ambitions that begin with a big supply order and end, at least sometimes, with an actual new skill.

1. 1

   Sourdough Baking

   It's the champion of good intentions. Half of you get great bread and the other half end up with a jar of starter in the fridge that you feel guilty about.

2. 2

   Jigsaw Puzzles

   It has the best ratio of effort to satisfaction on this list, and it's the only hobby where taking over the whole dining table counts as progress.

3. 3

   Knitting

   Your first scarf will be lopsided, and you'll wear it proudly anyway. It also gives your hands something better to do than scrolling.

4. 4

   Learning Guitar

   Everyone buys the guitar and learns four chords. The ones who get past sore fingertips in week three are rare and deserve respect.

5. 5

   Couch to 5K

   Starting a running plan in January darkness takes real conviction, and finishing it gives you bragging rights well into spring.
