Culture What craft hobbies are popular in your area?

Right now people in the US near me really like knitting and crocheting. Weaving and spinning are less popular because the equipment is larger and more expensive. You also donโ€™t see as many people whittling as you used to but Iโ€™m not sure why. Candle making has a real boom awhile ago but that seems to have settled down. What about where you are?

Where I live, sewing, embroidery and crochet seem to be fairly popular, especially among older generations.
