thank god that was only for a VERY brief period of time.
I would have just brought a pair of pencils and kept on knitting.....

I had some workaround that I don't remember anymore. It was really fucking annoying.

I can't knit, but my Abuela had taught me some crochet. Although, it's nothing that you'd show off

I think they permitted circular needles, just not straight needles. Which frankly I prefer for travel knitting. Much harder to lose a stitch and a little less unfriendly to whomever I sit next to.

 

[MsNatalie99]

I was wondering where you were.... pages of chaos and not one post from you.... I was thinking of sending out a search party.
Hugs!

Just a busy day. Probably one with a few times, I'd skip catching up

crochet is the next thing I need to master. I have a pattern for a 1850's carry all bag that is in crochet. I MUST make....

Right after 9-11 you couldn't fly with knitting needles because the TSA thought you'd stab someone!

Is it wrong to say if you give me something sharp and put me on a plane then I definitely am stabbing someone?
I'm not to good with flying

oh god the number of things I had questioned by TSA was unreal. They took a plastic spork once, and my packets of sweet & low. My tweezers have been questioned, my eyelash curler questioned several times lol.

I have always said that a pencil or a pen is AT LEAST as good a weapon as my knitting needles.
You do NOT want me on a plane if I can't knit or sew during take off.... just saying.

I made some thigh high socks, and sleevs. Not sure my Abuela would have helped me out with them and she knew I wore them for play

It wasn’t worth catching up on. Better to skip anyway.

The TSA agents who found my self exam speculum (back in my feminist healthworker/ teaching self exam days) really hastily returned it to my bag when I explained what it was.

I have heard a lot of stories about sex toys and TSA...

I used to be able to fly with my late husband he was awesome and talking me down from freak outs. Only tried once since he passed and I got kicked off the plane before take off

Thanks. BTW, part 4 was awesome! Can't wait for part 5

I used to be nervous when they'd go in my bag and find one of my toys. Now I try to bring the most horrific ones I can think of just to amuse myself when they find it

awww - you need a new boo bear buddy who can talk you down and protect you so you can fly...

Sorry to hear that. I don't fly well unless I'm sleeping. So take off and Landing are always especially nerve-racking for me

well that could be quite the conundrum. I usually got my eyelash curler through by showing/demonstrating to the guy how it was used.

I really never knit with straight needles anymore. Gave them all away.

For a time, anything pointy was bad. Hey, I have a friend who has a hell of scar on her thigh from having some really sharp double points in her pocket, so hey, maybe they weren't wrong!

I only knit with straight when I am doing historical interpretation in the days before circular needles existed.
Scarred by a double point! Yikes! those must have been seriously sharp.

I haven't had sex toys questioned but I have had a vibrator decide to turn itself on unexpectedly. That was kind of embarrassing. Although partly because i couldn't FIND it; I could just feel it vibrating. I'd been in a huge hurry when I packed, and I just threw things in.

Signature Needle Arts.

Awesome needles if you haven't tried them. But they are SHARP. Especially the tiny ones.

oohhhhh - they have metal points? All metal?
I am a wood needle knitter. Lykke is my brand these days.

I like those, too. They feel nice. Probably my 2nd favorite, but I love a really sharp point.

Yup, they're all metal, and they're amazing. You can choose the pointy-ness. I love the stilettos. They also have this tiny etching in them, you can't even see it, and it means that they're slippery but they have a little grip, too. Great for lace knitting especially.
