Where do I begin to even see if I'm interested?

One thing you could look into is buying a kit, whether online or from a local craft shop. Something quite small would be best, so you can get the satisfaction of completing something and then decide if you enjoyed it or not.

You don't need a ton of stuff to get started, as the other comment says it's really just some fabric, a needle and floss and then some kind of pattern. But buying it as a kit can be good for absolute beginners just for the convenience factor and knowing you've definitely got the right stuff.
