| TO DO WHILE KNITTING... |
People always ask us: "Can I take my knitting on the plane?"
Answer: It depends where. TSA allows all knitting and knitting tools
through security in the USA. So, you can knit if you are departing from a
US city and therefore going through our security.
Different countries have different rules. Look up the rules for the airport
you are flying through to determine if they allow knitting. Most European
airports list on their websites that knitting is NOT allowed.
How I traveled through Heathrow (London), Copenhagen, Florence,
Frankfurt, Malta, Mexico and more with my knitting:
First, I only used my Addi or Ebony interchangeable sets. I took in my
carryon only the tips that I would need for that flight. I packed my
remaining tips and cords in my suitcase to be checked.
I removed any scissors and sharp objects like stitch holders. I packed my
teeny-tiny Canary scissors or yarn cutter pendant instead.
Before going through security, I unhooked my needle tips from my work,
pushed my knitting down onto the cord so I wouldn't loose my stitches and
put my needle tips into the pocket of my handbag along with a great
selection of pens and pencils (at least 5 or 6)!
This way, I only risked loosing my 2 needle tips instead of the entire
interchangeable set. If found, they could always be replaced for the cost
of the tips only.
I also packed an alternative project that needed a different needle size in
my luggage so that IF my carry on tips were confiscated, I could still knit
on my trip after I landed.
I hope this was helpful - safe travels everyone!
