    Flew from the Caribbean to the U.S and they took my needles but give them back to me 5 minutes later. They did not mention length, but they mentioned the pointiness of the needles. I was doing Mosaic Crochet at the time, and they took my scissors too but returned it because it was a kid's friendly scissors with the round tip.

    I recommend compression bags and a small steamer. We paced for a 2 week trip to Europe with one carryon bag. The compression bags made all the difference.

    you're packing more projects for your trip than i usually have on needles! :-))) but i do think you'll need them all ;-) . ... sometimes i feel like a simple, mundane task like buying a toothbrush in a different country is part of the travel experience [tho if you're on a work trip, i can see you might not have time to fritter away on mundane tasks]. have a wonderful, productive & fun trip!

  • @loveoffibers

    Hey Amy great job packing. I pack the same way except I also have compression bags. Get some they are amazing and perfect for packing your yarn or souvenir yarn 😂 I have the same packing cubes and yup love them. I live in Europe the summers so I spend 8-12 weeks usually out there and sometimes I divide the time in different cities or countries so moving freely is priority for me so I totally get it. Also some tips, I usually only carry tiny toiletries for the first few days and then I buy once I’m there if I’m staying in one place the entire time. There’s drugstores and pharmacies every block 😂 and I did the same as far as plugs and extensions I ended up buying some stuff there which I take with me for some things it’s just easier like you said. Also I’ve had the same experience with needles. Some USA airports are fine but I’ve began to even bring wood for USA. For Europe I only do wood needles and If I do check in a bag I’ll put my metal needles in there. A lot of the times I only have a carry on and book bag I usually do laundry and compression bags are my go to for maximizing my space in my carry on. Have fun! I love Europe! Also I’m glad you picked the whitmoor cardigan that’s the one I was hoping you took. It’ll definitely give you a variety between projects.

    Thanks Amy, that was nice to watch. I really like the way you make an episode.
    I just have a question what airports in Europe gave problems? I have flown back and forth from Amsterdam to Barcelona and Geneva and just this weekend to Edinburgh but have had no problems, but I want to visit more cities and it is good info to have. Flying from Amsterdam to different cities in the US never gave any problems😊
    Again enjoy your stay here.
