Ridiculous article about knitting:

Carol Zahn, owner of Knitting Treasures on Court Street, said her customers get younger and younger.
...
Zahn compared the knitting "frenzy" to Cabbage Patch Dolls and the Beanie Baby craze.

Yes, it's just like children's toys. Except for the part where it's expensive, rewarding, challenging, companionable, decreases stress and allows you to create family heirlooms. But other than that, very much like Beanie Babies.
