I like something to do by hand while I watch tv at night, and have done some hexes, but I decided to teach myself to crochet. ( it doesn't all fall off the needles like knitting!) and have made 2 afghans and numerous dishcloths ( mostly just for practice). They aren't any great works of art, but I have found that I do enjoy it - not as much as quilting, but it's easily portable and I end up with something useful, just like in quilting.
