[Nfb-krafters-korner] traveling with knitting

[Ramona Walhof]

The security people don't currently have any problems with knitting or
crochet.  You also have to be concerned about your neighbors.  Most flights
are 100 percent full, and some are very cramped seating.  With a circular
needle I don't move my arm above the elbow, but I would not feel comfortable
using straight needles.  A bag for the skein or ball of yarn is desirable.
If it gets on the floor, it will not go rolling down the aircraft, and it
will stay clean. Yes, I learned the hard way.

I have traveled with crochet needles without any problems.  I did have
extras in the checked luggage just in case.  Grin!  The scissors can be
about 2 inches from the hinged  if I remember right.  Everyday is a new and
different day when flying.  You can check the web site of the Carrier.
Happy travels!

Hi Nella,

When I had looked into the question as to whether a loom tool was allowed on
a plane I could not come up with a specific answer. I think the issue is how
long the point is on an object. For example, folding scissors are okay, but
not long scissors. So, I am assuming here that a loom tool is okay. What I
actually did when going on the plane with my loom, was to place the tool in
a plastic sandwich bag and then place that in the center of the loom and set
it into the bottom of the bag, followed by the yarn on top. When my bag was
scanned there was no problem. so I would give it a try. 
But for your own peace of mind I would place a spare in your suitcase just
in case they take your tool, which I judge is unlikely. 
Have a great day!!
Cathy F
