The part of the video where you are in the big Aqua rocker knitting away looking peaceful is my fav. Plus, Arkansas is boo-tee-ful!! Now for my traveling knitting tip and tale. Since I fly out of Boston and the TSA process there is not one for the timid, I learned to place all of my knitting toys in a clear bag. Not only will it make the TSA agents job easier it can also be a conversation starter and you get to bond with someone and brighten their day. While I was on route to New Mexico, (one of my favorite places to knit in the world) a passenger, who sat next to me, had extreme flight anxiety. Well this gentleman saw me knitting and he asked if I could knit the entire flight due to the clicking sound of the needles was keeping him calm. I eagerly obliged. So for the entire flight I clicked away, finished the Candy Spun Shawl of Chandi's while he was soothed the entire flight. There is lots of power in our fiber fun!
Security in Cozumel made me throw my Addi Turbo needles away! A lady in our group said Greece security made her. Tip.. always have a self addressed envelop large enough to mail your needles home in. I could have bought stamps at the airport.
One tip I have is a basic tip for whenever but especially for traveling ! Always place a stitch marker where you stop your project at the time ! Something can happen where something pulls the yarn and you lose your spot !
Great tip! I do that too :-) Now I use the stitch markers with clips to hang tags. When placing the marker, I attach a note with where I left off and where to resume on the pattern.
I travel all the time for work (I'm a seafarer) and my kit of interchangeable circular needles is absolutely indispensable. They're so compact yet versatile. Being able to remove the needles and carry the project on just a cable means it can be safely rolled up and put in my bag with no fuss. I also use a stitch cutter to cut my yarn, rather than scissors.
If you're traveling to visit family or anywhere there are young children (maybe 5 and up), take a little bit of extra yarn and a larger circ needle. If you are working at a casual family gathering, the child is likely to be intrigued by what you're doing. Having the extra supplies will allow you to teach the child without having to use your own project as a teaching aid. I learned the hard way.
I don’t take scissors on a plane. Instead take a dental floss case. The small cutter on it works great and you can use the floss for a lifeline or on you teeth😀 if needed!
cyndie Russell Brilliant! Floss can also help with threading tapestry needles and be used as stitch markers-especially handy as a running stitch marker for crocheting in spiral or joined rounds :-)
Watching this as I prepare for my first ever knitting retreat! My favorite tip is to have a self addressed prepaid flat rate envelope just in case TSA wants to confiscate your stuff. You can always check your bag, but I have heard horror stories about TSA taking knitting projects so having an envelope you can just seal up and give to TSA for mailing means you save your project and your materials
I went on a holiday in December and had no problem taking my needles on the plane. However, on my return I read that they don't allow needles so I kept them in my check-in baggage on return so I didn't have to part with them! I guess security just overlooked them the first time!
It may be an issue of who you encounter on any given day or even if you're trying to bring metal or wood/bamboo needles. I've traveled recently with me knitting needles and had no problems bringing them along in my carry-on. Currently, the TSA site permits all types of needles in checked and carry-on baggage.
Hi Chandi, I just flew home to Louisiana and as to not have a problem going through TSA I just brought wooden circular knitting needles with me. Had no problems. Scissors I packed in my stowed luggage. Thanks so much for your videos. Please keep em coming. You are an ANGEL! You have helped me out a ton!
They shouldn't have a problem with plastic needles. I also took a plastic needle with me also and it pass through TSA. They didn't even question it. I hope this helps!
we have a weekly 8 hour round road trip. I try to keep a simple project with me for these trips. your tip about keeping your notions, yarn, needles and pattern all in a completely closable bag is great. it is awful to be away from home and realize you don't have everything you need. thank you for the great tips!
As a tip for backing up your pattern, you can print website pages as PDFs and save them on your phone. I also back my patterns up to a cloud service and download them to my device whenever I need them. Great video!
Happy to hear that you like this tutorial. Since the video was taped quite a while ago, we're not sure what Chandi was working on during that trip. I'm sorry about that. I hope the tutorial was helpful to you while traveling. Have a nice day! 💕
I traveled for the first time as a knitter recently, and as someone who knits to ease my anxiety and help calm and focus my mind, I found what worked for me was to purchase a carry on size travel/project bag. The only things I carry-on our activities for me. Books, magazines, the extra battery chargers for my cell phone… Whatever it is I need and of course snacks… So by having a project bag where I could store everything neatly plus have all my other doodads, it was perfect for me and I could take a couple different projects as I was going to be spending a lot of time on the beach! It worked out perfectly and As this was my first time flying since being diagnosed with severe paranoid anxiety and panic disorder, Having a carry-on size project bag was perfect I had everything I needed to keep calm and stay focused on counting my stitches and avoided any panic attacks! Successful travel!!!
Love the tips for travel. I would suggest that center pull balls of yarn are easiest to work with. I've found stylish thread cutters that double as a necklace (caution: some can cut clothing while you wear them).
I personally dont like to fly because because it makes me nauseous so we usually drive long distance for instance when we went to florida it took 18 hours but i feel so much better knowing these so i can knit while on trips!
I like to bring a small bag of just the yarn and hook/ needle in my carry on and then pack my big bag with more yarn, scissors, darning needle, etc. In my checked bag.
I use a backpack, stuff in my small travel purse, tablet, knit/crochet projects. It can squish under the seat in front of you while take-off/landing and easy to access.
If you dont have a cute zipper bag. A gallon size ziplock bag works great too. I too have never had an issue with taking knit needles on a flight. International or domestic. Love your advice and Arkansas. A beautiful state. My husband was from there.
I usually take along projects such as granny squares or strips/ mile a minute projects or hats/ scarfs 🌹and also a printed pattern always . When I flew from New York to Colorado I just put all the knitting/ crochet needles / hooks in my luggage I was not using and used plastic hook while flying and switched back to my regular hook when back home . Each place & airline is very different . Thank You for your videos 🌹
My tip for traveling is don't use a pattern that requires stitch markers! I was on one particularly turbulent flight and I got to the marker, huge drop, and the marker went flying! And then it happened again. Luckily both markers landed in the lap of the person behind me and she knew what was going on and returned them to me. I put that project away for the rest of the flight.
Traveling was something I did quite a bit. I would bring nonmetal hooks or needles. Enough yarn/patterns(paper) for at least 1 project per week, being bored when there is nothing else to do but hang out with other people was unacceptable. I even taught others how to crochet. I never counted on the internet or electronics, they failed me too many times. A small pair of nail clippers, though the dental floss thing could work if your yarn is small enough.
Great video and tips. I bring wooden circulars and so far so good, I fear metal needles might make a TSA agent think twice about letting them go through.
Great tips Chandi! Where did you get that accessory kit! It’s amazing. As I travel on the road a lot or work I always leave a knit and crochet project in the car as my husband likes to drive me. Works for me, lol. What I’ve done at times, especially when I have a 2 or 3 row repeat at the most is to make a copy of those rows of the pattern, enlarge it and tape it to my dashboard so I can easily see it if I need to. It works great! And no more dragging out the pattern and trying to find the row I need. I also save the complicated stuff for home or when I’m not on the go! Thanks for sharing your great tips!
All of those are such fantastic ideas! I got the knit kit here: theknitkit.com/collections/knit-kits-and-accessories/products/the-knit-kit?variant=6860169936954. ❤️
I'd probably suggest having chains in project done beforehand, because people talk and make it hard for me to count how many in a starting chain I've done, even at home. Traveling is even harder for me! Also I like to stash my yarn in my daughters diaper bag. XD
Great tips! I am leaving in a couple weeks for a 13 hour road trip and will be gone about 2 weeks. I was wondering how I was going to manage everything!!
I actually bought each of my kids a key chain set of three crochet hooks. They are 5mm, 4mm, 3mm and each roughly 2 inches long so no matter where we go we have a hook on hand.
I take cable stops in my carry-on with my knitting and pack a spare pair of the same size needles in my checked in luggage - then if I do come across an airline or airport security that doesn’t allow needles onboard, I can quickly detach the needles, put on the cable-stops and surrender the needles without losing the project. ❤️
If you are traveling internationally check with the airport before you leave the hotel to see if your knitting will go through their security. Some countries do not allow it, some do. I have not personally experienced my knitting being confiscated but I have heard others say their entire knitting bag was taken, yarn and all. Had they known they could have put theirs in their checked luggage before leaving for the airport.
Buy the $1 kids safety scissors. When they are brand new they are still fairly sharp, and there is no issue with taking them through TSA, AND they won't accidentally poke a hole through your project bag.
Also, Gingher makes scissors that LOOK like kids scissors but have sharp blades. But for cutting yarn on a plane, I like nail clippers as another person commented.
It's not up to the airline alone. TSA agents can confiscate your needles and you won't have them for your trip. It doesn't happen often but it's left to the discretion of the agent. I would take wooden needles as they won't show on the scanner. Also the video only shows starting a project; if you have a WIP, place the stitches on a lifeline or cable with stoppers and store the needles separately.
I think simple scarves, cowls, coffee coats, etc would be really great to do on a plane. I'll link to one I think is pretty great: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/coffee-coats.html
All the links to the products are usually given in the description box below but it's possible that the specific notions kit is not available anymore since this video is already 5 years old. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer. Have a nice day! 🩶
Does Cathay Pacific allow knitting supplies? I am going to Indonesia in February and I want to be able to bring as much as possible! Also, do they allow scissors?
Hi there, unfortunately the original knit kit is not available any more but maybe one of these are an alternative? * amzn.to/3GBt8Zq * amzn.to/3mtiRYB * amzn.to/3GHGfsb I hope this is helpful! 💚

If I travel in the car I put a hole in a butter lid thread the yarn through put the yarn in the butter container and close it. So that way my yarn stays in one place.
I got held up the last time I flew because I had accidentally stuck a pocket knife in my purse when we cleaned out my Dad’s nursing home room after he died. I forgot and though I had a small purse, the agent couldn’t find it... So, no scissors for me either but knitting socks or a simple scarf will always win the blue ribbon!!!

Never thought of using a stitch cutter for cutting yarn! genius! I will definitely do that next time
I use stitch cutters even when traveling by car, less risk of scissors cutting into the leather car seats.

When you crochet and if you like to take a bunch of different yarns to work on different projects keep everything organized!
Yes!
Can your dress get any tighter of shorter
Center pull floppy/thin yarn that you can put in the pocket of the seat back on the plane.
Great suggestion!
Wooden or bamboo round needles are a good option and no problem with airport Security
Great suggestion!
Thanks so much for these tips! I just ordered a knit kit on Amazon!

The thinnest yarn has the most yardage, which would be cobweb yarn.
@@ExpressionFiberArts What size needle is worked best with cobweb? How about crochet hook size as well?
