Do airlines allow you to keep your needles 🤔

@@elmondo-s1e great question and I couldn’t find any answers myself. I flew to Japan with Airchina and had no problems what so all and I took them in my carry on. I did have a needle stopper on the end and they were interchangeable needles that I took with me from Knit Pro. I hope that helps I think most airlines as long as you don’t take scissors as part of your knitting or crochet kit you’re fine :-) but always worth checking if they say anything about pointy objects in their ‘not allowed’ list - wasn’t an issue for me!

How many rows for an adult hat to stop to make the brim and how many for the rest to complete the hat i have 50 hats to make for a nursing home, and this is exactly what i was looking for cause this is how i do it on my loom as well
@KnittingwithMaxine29 күн бұрын
Aw I am glad it has helped. Info is in the description and have pasted below for you. Good luck with the hat making that is really kind of you to do that for a local nursing home ❤ For the hat in this video 21 rows for the brim, work until row 55 then cast off. A larger hat with a bigger brim is made with 30 rows for the double fold brim and 35 for the remaining length of the beanie. Good luck!

Where did you purchase it from I know there are some dodgy places online that sell fakes. I also think it depends on the yarn too on the sound it makes.
