I have been home from Sweet Briar for a week. Unfortunately a few things
broke in my house during that week, so it has been a week of dealing with
repairmen.
Looking back on the Sweet Briar week, I have to say that my memory is of a
totally pleasant week. There was nothing unpleasant.
Sorry sending this over the list but all my mails to Tina came back.
Tina, if you are still o the list please contact me privately.

Hello Francis and everyone on arachne
Some free advice is to check with the airline on their website where you
should find a list of what is/isn't allowed in the carry-on luggage on an
international flight.
If you cannot knit you could rehearse your lines for the next movie ;)

Hello,
I have had wooden knitting needles in my carry on, and they didn't
show up on the scanner I guess. They passed OK.
Hi Francis. Last year, I flew to Europe ( Dallas, London, Amsterdam)
and back with a sock on metal dpn's, and no one said any thing. Most
of the time the needles will be allowed, but it is up to the
individual screener or attendant. If the attendant on board does not
allow you to knit,
As Bev said, check the webpage of the airline(s) you are traveling on. Most of
them allow knitting these days, but some do restrict it to plastic or wood
needles, not metal. On the chance that some inspector got fussy and refused to
let you have them, take old ones that you can lose without
Alice, that's a great idea for passing the time on a long flight.

Be careful hoping to put things into an envelope and mail them back to

I've not travelled to the USA, but I did knit on the plane on the way to
Prague last year. I did take wooden needles that didn't show up on the
scanners tho, so I didn't actually declare to anyone that I had knitting
needles with me.

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

Hi Francis,
I have taken bamboo knitting needles on transatlantic flights from the US and
had no problem. You can also use them within the US but not on flights from
Canada. I think you can even use metal ones in the US but as advised, better
to check with your airline. I also would run a spare
Hi Erica
I received your message, but obviously Comcast stopped you getting my response

I've had no trouble knitting on US domestic flights, using circular needles
(resin ones from http://www.knitdenise.com/ or wooden ones from
http://www.knitpicks.com/needles/Wood_Knitting_Needles__L300306.html). I
also knit in February from Miami to Barbados and back.
