crocheting isn't too bad, you can make a scarf with a couple $3 skeins of yarn! i also like to make text adventure games using Twine, which is free and can be downloaded online. i read a lot which i make affordable by either going to the library or buying used books OR by finding pdfs of short stories for free online. i also watch movies A LOT and usually do not do that in such a way that i have to pay money for them lol. i used to make dollhouses out of cardboard sometimes when i was really bored, that's something that takes a lot of time but not too much money at all!

computer free hobbies: going for walks, doing activities (or just chatting!) with my friends (activities often include seeing art and music, gaming, having snacks, tea, drinks, meals, dancing, exploring the city, etc), reading (books pdfs anything really), thrifting, scrapbooking, experimenting with clothing and hair, {painting, drawing, weaving}these used to be more major in my life and i plan to get back into them this year... i bought supplies for cross stitching a while ago that i need to put to use asap also
computer hobbies: shopping/collecting using websites like ebay, researching my topics of interest, posting on pi.fyi (feels like scrapbooking digitally), planning (i love making little itineraries using spreadsheets im about to do this rn), finding new music and art, watching video essays, listening to podcasts

I am also an introvert with ADHD! I find the simple hobbies that hold my interest are the ones that have an element of problem-solving because there is a definite start and end, along with plenty of yummy dopamine when you solve it! Solitaire is fun if you are really looking for something simple. Also, I carry a small book of crosswords with me at all times too, those hold my attention longer than physical books.
Audiobooks/podcasts about my current fixation + outside activity (like roller skating, walking, cycling, jogging, etc ...) = the only way I get myself outdoors these days. I use Libby instead of Audible because nothing is more punk rock than the public library.
Speaking of the library, I think they are an untapped resource for people! I am a photographer and I don't have the money to buy my own equipment at the moment, so I check out equipment from my library. You can check out instruments, games, video game consoles, I have even seen Tarot cards (which I might advise against that one, Tarot is too much of a personal process that is energetically sensitive to the individual, so getting public/second-hand cards can be tough)!
The best hobbies for me are the ones I can pick up without feeling too guilty about leaving behind just as quick, the attention is gonna go wherever she wants, I have no say. I try and wait to spend any large sum of money on a hobby I am not married to yet (like buying a bunch of yarn, a sewing machine, climbing gear, etc).

i'm not sure if you consider more recent classics but as a lit major here are some of my faves that could be considered classics: wuthering heights, pride and prejudice, song of solomon, the crying of lot 49, slaughterhouse five, 1984, hamlet, macbeth, and it's not a novel but the collected short stories of ernest hemingway... many of them are bangers. i'm not a hemingway novel fan but his short stories are often so good

literally love it so much and i'm always so happy when i leave there. the america windows are literally the most beautiful sight in real life like it will take your breath away. i had a cameron from ferris bueller's day off moment standing there staring at the america windows with tears in my eyes. and that movie was actually filmed at the art institute! so much to see i love the miniature rooms
