Why you can't you take your knitting on the flights? In the US you're allowed to take knitting needles on a plane, but perhaps you're flying overseas or something???

I've never had a problem taking my knitting on domestic flights. I have heard of international problems though.

I just take one set of needles and keep the rest in my check in bag. That way if they should take them I've still got more where I'm going.

Flying from UK to Canery Island just off coast of Africa . The airline and airport security both forbid knitting needles but allow crochet hook

Oh..that makes sense then. I think I'd just take my Kindle (or a book) with me. There are lots of books on knitting that are very entertaining. There's technique books, mysteries, humor, etc. Need ideas for them we can help.
