When I knit on the bus, sometimes people watch me, but I think it's either neutral or positive. One day, I was knitting while walking on Brookline Ave, and a construction worker or similar congratulated me on being able to knit and walk at the same time. He then launched into a fond reverie of his aunt teaching him to knit when he was laid up for a few months as a kid.
