[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Interchangeable needles

Fri Sep 20 01:56:27 UTC 2019

You should not have trouble with knitting needles of any kind on airlines. Even right after 9-11 they were allowed. I have done knitting on both domestic and international flights. Sometimes flight attendants admire what I am doing, but never have objected. I like to take the circular needles so I don't worry about bothering my seatmates. Wish the cane was accepted as well.
