Because I am not a knitter, we relied on the talents of local knitting groups and a handful of the era's well'known designers. One of those was Kaffe'Fassett, who opened the doors of his colourful, design'filled home and shared a wealth of fabulous patterns. "A few episodes from that series now sit in the East Anglian Archive, a fact that seemed trivial at the time. Little did we know that, decades later, knitting would become a "latest fad" for Generation'Z. Recent reports show a surge of young people picking up knitting needles, drawn by the mental'health benefits and the rewarding sense of creating something tangible. The reminder of those early days arrived unexpectedly while I was sifting through boxes of items…...

From creative pursuits to travel fueled interests, these trends reveal a generation rediscovering what lights them up. Crafting a meaningful life in your later years hits differently when you finally have the freedom, time, and the budget to explore interests you once shelved for someday. I've noticed a trend among boomers lately. With kids grown, mortgages calmer, and careers easing into their next chapters, many are rediscovering parts of themselves they didn't have space for before. And the hobbies they're choosing say a lot about who they're becoming now that they finally can choose. People who once documented life on disposable cameras or early camcorders are now diving into mirrorless bodies, vintage lenses, and weekend workshops. And good gear…...

The nonprofit Pisgah Conservancy said the name was selected out of nearly 300 entries in its "Name This Loop" contest over the summer.

1+ day, 4+ hour ago (1627+ words) Maya Flores / Nov 24, 2025 The hobbies your grandparents loved are having a moment, thanks to Gen Z's search for something real. I'll be honest with you: when I first saw my neighbor's 22-year-old daughter pull out knitting needles at a coffee shop last month, I had to do a double take. Here was someone who'd grown up with smartphones glued to her hand, suddenly looking like she'd stepped out of my grandmother's living room. But here's the thing that caught me off guard even more: she wasn't alone. All around her, other young people were crocheting, sketching, and flipping through actual paper journals.

These young people are discovering what their grandparents always knew:…...
