From Yalkut Yosef:
1. Women are accustomed to avoid doing types of activities that involve work such as knitting and weaving during the time that the Hannukah candles are lit in the home, during the thirty minutes that they are lit. The reason is because we show that we cannot gain any benefit from the light emitted by the Hannukah candles and there is no place to be lenient in this matter except for baking, cooking and using the light for home needs.
2. There are women who are accustomed to avoid any type of
activities that involve work altogether throughout the entire eight days of
Hannukah and they should ban this custom altogether. The absence of activity
leads to boredom. In any case there are those who say women should abstain from
doing heavy duty activity such as laundry (in the old days) and other things
that caused a lot of work during the first and eight (and final) days of
Hannukah only. However, men do not abstain from any work whatsoever.
Shabbat Shalom!
