I took 4 bamboo needles and stashed them in my eyeglass case and a ball of sock yarn. Once safely on board I was good to go. The flight attendants didn't even notice I was knitting most of the night. I think they were sleeping in first class anyway...ciaoRosittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722304052321553692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500116571284081467.post-32353413672816595632009-08-19T21:54:21.024-07:002009-08-19T21:54:21.024-07:00I have flown from Kelowna to Vancouver to London (...I have flown from Kelowna to Vancouver to London (England) to Jersey and had no problems with knitting.

I almost aspirated my coffee.<br /><br />I've not had any problems flying with knitting needles. I've done it with bamboo and my knitpicks options. My sister routinely flies to Europe and Africa and she takes her knitting, too.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500116571284081467.post-15390881589459874912009-08-19T11:10:45.832-07:002009-08-19T11:10:45.832-07:00I'm sure you'll get your mojo and capital ...I'm sure you'll get your mojo and capital K back ..... give us an update in about 3 wks after school starts?<br /><br />Australia had a sign posted "no knitting needles."<br />DH showed me the sign wondering what I should do about it. I shrugged and did nothing. I had bamboo needles with a 2 inch lace panel on them already about 2 feet long (for pillowcases) I wasn't about to surrender it. After taking 4 flights in 2 wks within that country and their so-called rule and having my bag hand checked 2X - they were NOT confiscated. Maybe cuz they were bamboo? If asked I was planning to say that they're called sticks and not needles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818795902981871173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500116571284081467.post-79247523237509202612009-08-19T09:52:58.525-07:002009-08-19T09:52:58.525-07:00I've never had any problem at all flying with ...I've never had any problem at all flying with knitting needles in the U.S. It's only on flights that go out of the country that I have troubles. (I had to give up some really nice needles in Costa Rica.)<br />I usually bring a tapestry needle and some waste yarn, just in case I have to take my project off the needles. However, the FFA does say that knitting needles are OK, so you are unlikely to have troubles.Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415522471075744052noreply@blogger.com
