Wooden knitting needles allowed on carry on?

Question

can any one tell me if wooden knittle needles are allowed on my carry on for the airplane

Answer 1

Yes, they are.

Answer 2

yes. you can check out TSA (at least for American travel) and what they allow etc).  Website here: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p...

(Knitting needles are under "Makeup, Medication, Personal Items & Special Needs Devices")

I've traveled with various projects with various types (and sizes) of needles with out any issues.  I even traveled with my ENTIRE knitting needle (wooden, metal, and plastic needles of different lengths and sizes) collection once in my carry on bag and traveled fine.

Answer 3

My sister had no problem with her metal needles domestically or internationally.  But I had a friend who had her wooden needles confiscated in Europe.  I think it often depends on the country and, more important, the disposition of the individual security personel.

For domestic travel, I would carry a copy of the TSA form as insurance.   And I would definitely not bring my favorite pair.  Good luck!
