Yes, I also took mine to the UK. I think that often forbidden items are not noticed.
On the knitting forum where I first learned of the changes for knitting needles, there was post after post after post where knitting needles had gone through security despite the rules. Finally the question was changed: anyone ever have knitting needles challenged? Not one story so far. That said, I wouldn't want to loose my needles; they are too expensive. Anyway, being the sort that cringes at the thought of "being caught out" I am happy I will now be able to take my knitting along, legally.
