[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting needles

[Ramona Walhof]

I take knitting needles with me everywhere and have never had a problem.  I 
do use the round needles, both plastic and metal.  I have not even been 
asked about them. I even took them with me to Italy and fly a lot 
domestically.

I had to stop for a year or two after 9-11, but that's all.
