Todays trip was straight out of a comedy! Anything that could go wrong went wrong in my voyage to Valencia! Best part was that I was able to knit and crochet some on the planes, and made some serious progress on the scarf that I am knitting for my neice (my first attempt at knitting - its going so-so) and made headway into the shawl that I am making with the Lang Opal Color that I bought - it is turning out very pretty so far - it seems to just shimmer! I am off for meetings and more today - have a great week!!
I've never been allowed to take my needles onto a plane! Living in the U.S.A. is the reason, I'm guessing. They're "weapons". I have to admit that I've fantasized about them being just that more than once when someone has gotten on my last nerve!
ReplyDeleteI originally was planning on checking my small bag with my needles, but after arriving at the airport late (due to the taxi not showing) I was forced to take my bag with me - I was praying that they would not confiscate my needles and hooks - only thing that they went after was the scissors which I was expecting the minute I was told to carry my bag on with me! I went through 5 different security gate check points in the Brussels and Madrid airports and no one ever even blinked at the needles or hooks, and I even had a pointy thread hook with me! Even in the US I have not had a problem with my crochet hooks (have not tried needles yet!) I will be checking my bag and needles on the return voyage, and only keeping the one big hook with me - do not want to push my luck!
