Is Public Crafting a Social Faux Pas?

Tweet

Although jsut a teenager, I've been involved in many different crafts for years now. not only are they incredibly fun,. and occassionaly rather beautiful, but they can be a great way to spend those extra minutes and hours when you find yourself with nothing to do - well, nothing productive, anyway. Recently I found myself in a position where I was spending over three hours each day on public transit, and I naturally thought about doing crafts on my trips. Over the months I spent on this ridiculous schedule, I took up transit knitting, crocheting, needle tatting, embroidery, and even mending. I tried very hard not to bother anyone with it, but still managed to receive many strange looks, and even a few laughs. None of this a particularly bothered me, but I started wondering if I was bothering others. So I thought I'd ask, do you think crafting in public is a social faux pas?
