Most knights were lords of manors. The manorial system was designed to provide for knights without having to pay them money. They got manors from the king, and owed the king support in return. As lords of manors, they often spent time managing or improving their holdings. They had professional support from stewards and reeves to do this, but some knights were quite personally involved in their manors.

Since they had manors, they were able to hunt, have guests, and so on.

They also visited their friends, when on pilgrimage, or traveled for other reasons.
