The only time I’ve ever had an issue with knitting needles is when flying internationally. Leaving the US gave me no problems, but I was told to get rid of them when I was returning from abroad.

Yes, it’s allowed. Even a small pair of scissors is ok.

Thanks, I printed out that page, I always use a small scissors if I need to cut yarn and yarn tapestry needles for joining or threading yarn ends, along with crochet hooks…I’m thinking crochet hooks could do a lot less damage than knitting needles in the wrong hands but they didn’t mention those specifically, so I guess I’ll see how it goes. Thanks again, I’ve really missed my crocheting on those flights!!!

go to http://www.tsa.gov and print out the page entitled “Transporting Knitting Needles and Needlepoint” so that just in case you get an over zealous security agent you can show them the regulations. I’ve carried my knitting several times and never even been asked about it. I carry wooden needles and they’re always with my project. Hope this helps!

I’d like to know how I can get by with bringing my tools, ie; crochet hook, etc. on an airplance. Do they really still allow this?

You suggest making a photocopy of the working pattern to use if the original gets lost, but I wonder why bring the original at all? I always make two copies of my working pattern so I can scribble notes, cross off rows, etc, on one. I almost always spill something on my working pattern, but I always have my back-up copy for when the first becomes too damaged. And, my original is still clean and fresh.
