In Israel, most of the time is very hot so knitted things are not very relevant here. Yarn is expensive, and much cheaper to go to the store and buy ready-made clothes :) sewing is also not popular for the same reasons - good fabrics and accessories are expensive. Of course it would not be entirely correct to say that people are not interested in anything. everyone has some kind of hobby, but at the country level it is not so encouraged
