Knitting is classical music. Crochet is jazz. Cross-stitch is techno. Machine weaving is a Jack Antonoff production and handloom is Steve Albini. Latch hook is GarageBand. Lacemaking is a 17th century harpsichord

@hannah I am often exposed to an automatic embroidery machine and I think it's Kraftwerk

@hannah If you wish to avoid the pun, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop would also be an appropriate analogy.

@hannah so if I crochet lace is it jazz played on a 17th century harpsicord?

@hannah I am not a knitter, but my wife sure is. For her, knitting is not classical music, but a DJ series on YouTube called 'My Analogue Journal'.
I do get your list for the most part, except for the Steve Albini.
