Crafting on a Plane
#1
I'm about to embark on a 10-12 hour plane trip shortly. Well, between flights and layovers anyway. Does anyone off-hand know what crafting tools will be allowed? I'm thinking maybe crochet stuff might be best, but I will need something to cut the yarn. Any helpful hints? Thanks!

I would like to know too. I will be going to Europe this winter and know the rules have been relaxed a teeny bit. I would like to take some hand work since I cannot sleep on a plane under any circumstance!

I have heard others uses a dental floss container to also cut yarn or thread on a plane

Ok deep breath, let go of the irritation.......
Couldn't even bring a soda.
I hate flying, supposedly it got a little better, so hopefully there is more current experiences on here for you.
Enjoy the flight!

I had my nail clippers removed on a flight back from Cuba...had forgotten about them in my makeup bag....I have one of those necklace thread yarn cutters...you could get one of those...crochet hooks are ok...my sister was crocheting on the flight but she brought a plastic one...not metal...and there is a website I found that stipulates all the banned stuff and the restrictions...but I have to say I can't remember...I just googled it....

I always laugh at the stories about what the airlines won't let you have. It reminds me of a nursing home that I worked at when I was fresh out of nursing school. We had a sweet lady that loved to crochet and knit and did so for hours. She was forgetful and needed constant reminders of meds, meals, showers etc. The higher ups felt that she was at risk of hurting herself with the knitting needles and crochet hooks and took them away. She was lost! I reminded them that she could put her eye out with her toothbrush if she really wanted to! They gave the needles and hooks back to her!

You can get a scissors from www.Jean Lyle safe for airline security clearance. It looks like a childs paper scissors but is very sharp.
It depends a lot who is doing the security check.
I recently had a very small bottle of hand sanitizer taken away.
Its a good idea to carry a padded mailing envelope with your name and address and postage just incase you forgot something in your carry on or purse. They will mail it for you..
