Maille!
With all my extra spare time, I've been making chainmaille at night. It's SO FUN. It's a great combination of creative--there are hundreds of weaves and it's easy to create your own--and hypnotic--once you've decided on a weave, now do it five thousand times. And then you end up with metal that acts like cloth and looks like the Middle Ages. (Or you use teeny rings, and end up with surprisingly sophisticated jewelry.) It's wonderful.
EDIT: I just realized the item that I need to make with my maille skills. I think exactly one person reading this will instantly know what I mean and some of the others will guess.
