Because the real, underlying kick to knitting or sewing is that you get to stab things with sharp needles over and over and over! and no one gets hurt! Great stress reliever at the end of the day.
Mr. RightField tells people that I knit so I don’t kill people.

Try needle felting, and you can go in three dimensions.
But you may draw some blood until you get the technique down. Still relaxing fun.
