Helpful Hint of the Week
Can you take your needles/hooks on an airplane? For flights within the US, the answer is YES! Here is a page from the Transportation Security Administration saying that knitting needles, crochet hooks, sewing and embroidery supplies are allowed through security. HOWEVER - these rules only apply to US flights or flights originating in the USA. If you're traveling abroad, please check with the airline to see what will and won't be allowed on foreign flights.
