Dear Friends, I meant to tell you all about this a while back and have finally remembered.
In October when I flew back to Australia from Vietnam on Virgin Airlines I finally managed to smuggle my knitting on board the plane and between Singapore and Melbourne was able to knit half a sock! Oh what a pleasure to while away those horrible hours. Here's how.....
In Saigon I found the correct size in a set of bamboo knitting needles. I put the ends of the 4 needles inside large eucalyptus seed pods with a length of elastic between to keep them firm. Then shoved them inside a ball of wool and wrapped the whole thing in a plastic bag and placed it deep inside my hand luggage. This bag was scanned twice in Saigon and 3 times in Singapore with no questions asked. Also inside my wallet alongside a seam I had blue-tacked a darning needle for sewing in the ends.
