Few want to stick to their knitting, or basket weaving.

Because there's not a whole lot of money to be made knitting or basket weaving. If you know how to make a decent living doing that sort of thing, please let me know.

Niche. I now a few local women who do pretty well at knitting. One sweater a few thousand.

Don't know any basket weavers in the normal sense of that term. Just made a killing in one stock that's involved in what you might call nano-basket weaving.
