Re: [lace] lace on airplanes, was Bobbin lace carry pillow
Security issues change. Just a tip - to be on the safe side for international flights, check with your airline before you go. Their website will have a link about carry-on items.

Re: [lace] lace on airplanes, was Bobbin lace carry pillow
While I was in Europe I had been told you could not bring in or out straw filled pillows, but then we were moving back to Canada at the time. Not many people would bring such heavy pillows on a trip. Just something you need to know if you are thinking of buying a traditional pillow while in Europe for example. On 21-May-10, at 12:18 PM, bev walker wrote: Security issues change.

[lace] RE: travel pillow
Diane mentioned using a large square with knotted corners for carrying pillows around in and I do something similar. I use a large table cloth (not my best lacy, linen or Battenberg cloths), but a couple of casual ones. I have 2 large pillows that don't have bags, so I have them wrapped in table cloths. Since both cloths are rectangular (and quite large) I have folded them in half. Each pillow has it's cloth, and the opposing corners are pulled up and knotted. The knots make great handles to carry them with. I think this is what Mum first used when she started going to BL classes in Oz in the mid 70's, before she made a bag for her pillow.

Re: [lace] lace on airplanes, was Bobbin lace carry pillow
I don't think it depends entirely upon the airline! It also depends largely on the security restrictions at the airport you are flying from. As I have already posted to MariCarmen off forum, Malvary normally knits on her way to the UK but isn't allowed to knit on the way home. This is nothing to do with Air Canada, but the higher security at the UK airports which will still not allow scissors, nail clippers, tweezers, knitting needles or anything that could possibly be considered to be a weapon (or possably a detonator?). Although you *may* get through, is it worth the risk as your hold luggage is long gone, so you have no choice but for the item to be confiscated.

Re: [lace] lace on airplanes, was Bobbin lace carry pillow
Lately I tend to make wire lace. It needs few pins and is easy to repin so a miniature pillow is enough. So I wrapped a fleece shawl and placed it in a food container, pinned wire lace on it and arranged it as shown on http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/hang-EN.html Imagine how all that metal looks on an x-ray image scanner... I had to open up and explain but otherwise no problem. The pillow can actualy be smaller than the pattern. To have a larger working space, I pin a 'skirt' on the pillow. A kind of semi-circular cover cloth padded with undercarpet. There is always something at hand to put as extra padding under the 'skirt', another sjawl, gloves...
