Here's a possible alternative motive: some people find knitting fascinating, kind of hypnotic even. Hence being drawn to sit close enough that they can see exactly what's going on.
My experience with knitting on a bus is that on most trips, at least one person will ask me either what I'm doing or, more commonly, what I'm making. I'm totally fine with knitting as an icebreaker! Times when I've been reading, or just looking around, there's almost never conversation unless I start it.
When I went to pick up meds today, the tech held up a clear, 8x10 inch "ziplock" type bag, and asked if I was okay with getting the meds in that, or if I wanted a different type of bag. I brightened up and said I'd be *very* happy to have that one, as it's a perfect size for small knitting projects. She expressed interest in knitting, so I showed her what I was making, and encouraged the interest.

Okay, I'll stop needling you now. :-)
