This discussion comes up in knitting groups a lot, and it varies by country. Interestingly most report that rules are stricter in other countries than the US of late, but as stated, contacting the airline you use is advised. As always, things can depend upon who you get and what kind of mood they are in that day as criteria can vary, sounding trite, but discussions show inconsistencies. My suggestion would be pliable needles such as Bryspun as they are very flexible and forgiving to hands and being stored, but only go down to 2 US, and come in dpns, straights and circs. Otherwise bamboo types tend to be forgiven more and naturally, avoid metal ones. Some bring a padded envelope, pre-self-addressed and stamped just in case, and either they (or occasionally a kind security guard), will post it for you. The goal would be to take a back-up set in your luggage if you wish to pass the time when flying as they just take them out of the knitting (so if lace, then place lifelines or have stitch holders, etc.) That is the bare bones I can provide in fair brevity. <S> Best,Susan Reishus Francis Busschaert <[email protected]> Subject: [lace] real danger comming to the USA???????? or just a fluffy knit
