[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about knitting needles and flying

[River Woman]

What are you reaching out for in PR?
I am there every year in March or April. No summers in PR for me!  We love 
PR. I used to teach a course at the college on Puerto Rican culture - it is 
a very special place. Very very wonderful people, great art galleries and 
museums, and architecture that is spectacular. and, the food - delicious! I 
took students there every year, and now that I am retired my husband and I 
go every year. this year we will take my sister and her husband along. We 
love taking people there and showing them the special places all over the 
island.  Yes, I will be knitting on the way there, knitting when I am 
sitting in the town squares, and knitting on the way home! I always knit 
something really nice to wear when I leave for the journey to PR.

Have a good time in Puerto Rico! I've been lucky to be able to go on an 
outreach trip there for the past two summers. Leave it to me to go to Puerto 
Rico in August! But, I loved it!

No idea. I just know I lost my needles if Frankfurt because theyw ere 
straight ones. Sooooo, I never intend to lose them again. and, flying as a 
blind person is not a very nice thing to do anyway if you are alone - they 
can be so nasty to you that you think you are a criminal - and you are 
treated as one, too. So I take no chances on anything that even remotely 
might cause me a problem any more. I'll be leaving for puerto rico shortly 
with my circular needles. No problems!

Okay, dumb question - why are the circular ones okay but the other ones 
aren't? I'm using circular ones anyway, but geesh, if you really wanted to 
do something rotten, I'd think it could be accompished either way. 
Hmmmm..grin!

Take ONLY circular needles to be sure they don't get taken away from you! 
And, I take a letter opener instead of scissor to be sure I don't lose my 
scissor, too.
I knit everywhere I travel - the only place I had any trouble with knitting 
needles was in Frankfort, GR. but I do not take any chances - I use 
circulars because I know there will be no problems. Lynda

I've taken up knitting just in the last month (as mentioned in the last 
post.) I'm about to leave again for another month on the road. I'll be 
spending a lot of time in airplanes and airports and want to take my 
knitting with me. Will TSA give me any hassle about the needles?
