Because she can't get on the CM I've been informed.

It's broken for her.

She says hi to everyone though. I believe her exact wording was: "Say hi to all"

so hi from crusty to you all!

thanks for that Doc. Perhaps i will have to make haussinfeffer out of dat rascally rabbit.

Meg the cookies are for all - dig in!!

Gotta make this place all nice and homey for my hommies

I think I would like to start theme days, not like dress up, but rather i will answer questions on certain topics that you are all interested in knowing more about. This of course is by no means anything like our dear Landos thread.

Today it is knitting. ask me a question or if you are a novice, I i can teach you how. Yes my friends right here in my cm living room you can eat cookies and learn yourself how to knit.

What is the best way to get knitting needles past airport secuirity?

[saman]

put them in your checked luggage and take a book with you instead?

[crustine]

poke the security with them and run.

some people are easing up slightly on this rule, last i heard. After all the granny bunch are a force ti be reckoned with.

Take your crocheting on the plane and your knitting on carry on.

some info from the net
Crochet hooks and knitting needles are allowed on airplanes according to the TSA guidelines. But keep in mind that any TSA agent can overrule at the airport based on the immediate circumstances. It's a good idea to take some waste yarn, a self-addressed padded envelope (so you can mail the needles to yourself), and extra needles in your luggage just in case the agent on duty doesn't let them through.

Also, the TSA guidelines pertain to US travel only. International carriers have their own rules.

With that, I've flown on domestic airlines recently and haven't had any problems with knitting needles or crochet hooks.

Knitting Needles, Needlepoint & Sewing

Knitting needles are permitted in your carry-on baggage or checked baggage. However, security officers have the authority to determine if an item could be used as a weapon and may not allow these items to pass through security. To avoid this from happening, bring circular knitting needles made of bamboo or plastic and blunt scissors. In any event, be sure to carry a crochet hook with yarn to save the work you have already done in case your knitting tools are surrendered at the checkpoint

Most of the items needed to pursue a needlepoint project are permitted in your carry-on baggage or checked baggage with the exception of circular thread cutters or any cutter with a blade contained inside. These items must go in your checked baggage.


kicker i didnt know you were an avid knitter.

[Kicker774]

I just was curious what the rules were in case I did take up knitting.

Looks too complicated to me. I'll just stick with the book idea.

[crustine]

put on your fresh baked cookie scent and you are golden
