oh! i also taught myself how to bake. i now make cupcakes and brownies at least once every three weeks.
I taught myself how to imagine and create various personalities for various characters, from the Pokemon on my team to the Mercenaries of Team Fortress 2.
Computer-related: photoshop, film editing, basic web design, etc.
Practical: 3D nail art, cooking and baking, writing prose.
Language: Japanese, and if it counts I also furthered my understanding of Spanish beyond the level I was taught to in school. I've also picked up the absolute basics in several languages.
I taught myself how to play the acoustic guitar. I had a friend who helped me get started though, so I guess that's sorta cheating? And I haven't picked it up in a while, but it's something. And I guess Photoshop? But I feel like anyone can use photoshop nowadays.
Years ago, I taught myself how to do counted cross-stitch. I bought a kit, retreated to my room, and worked it all out. It's become a favorite pastime of mine.
Right now, I'm trying to teach myself to spin with a drop spindle.
