Hello Everyone, Pursuant to a lively discussion on Arachne a couple of months ago...
Just thought that some of you might be interested to know that on my flight to the UK three weeks ago, I took my knitting along with me, and encountered no problems from anyone -- just lots of amazed comments from fellow knitters who were happy to know that security rules have changed. I note on the TSA web site that there is also a statement that tools necessary for needlework (surely a rather broad catagory) are also allowed. And from April 25 knitting needles will be allowed from the UK -- hurrah! Those went in my checked luggage home and I would have given a lot to have them. I was surprised to discover that at least from the US the Clover thread cutters are forbidden. Apparently there is a blade inside that can be accessed (darn if I know how) and is considered dangerous. But scissors with round ends are ok. Apologies if you have heard all of this, I've been unsubscribed for several weeks.
