Woolly Winter Countdown Day 9: Airplane Seat Selection for Knitters

[@teresaparmelee3319]

My Mom-n-love taught me to use a yarn pom-pom on the handel of my suitcase when traveling. It truly helped.

My fingers are crossed for you Jana! I just purchased a neck light and can't wait to receive it as I'm knitting fingerless mitts for my grandson and I can't see the black and dark blue stitches. Thank you as ladies!!❤

I haven’t even started my Advent knitting yet. We just got home last night from a whirlwind trip to CT for our granddaughter’s birthday. I triple crocheted a long strand and tied it to my suitcase …. Can’t miss it and it’s unusual!!

I always pay for extra leg room...cuz I'm worth it! 😊

I have a giraffe print suitcase. Whimsical and very easy to identify. 🦒🦒🦒

[@annh.8290]

Sounds exciting Jana, hope you get to go!

[@lynntimmer1620]

Great information in travel! I will look into the new protocol for the international travel. I hope to take a trip with my pilot son this year. Best wishes for you, Jana!

Hi! From someone who has dropped the ball of yarn, I would suggest looking at a Lemonwood. It’s been a game changer for planes, trains and automobiles! I take it every where now. While a little pricey (they’ve been on sale for black Friday and will probably continue to be) I got a Solgaard. I did a 30 day trip to Italy with this carry on and a back pack. And I got the purple one of course.

Fingers crossed for your upcoming travel hopes!

[@lindamadden7264]

Thanks for the visa info. I hadn’t heard about that. I got a great carry on case at goodwill, packed it with stuff I had to take on my trip but didn’t need to bring back, then donated the carry on at goodwill before I flew home. Saved the luggage charge on the return trip too!

Also 5’10”, and mostly legs, I’ve gotten bruised knees from just sitting on a flight for 1.5 hours without the person in front reclining. It’s brutal!! Good airplane info! Thanks.

I second window on the right side of the plane when facing the front of the plane. I also go for last seat of exit row of possible.

I am really enjoying knitting along to the videos again this year! I've got my fingers crossed for you today. I keep trying to figure out how your Woolens and Nosh kit aligns with mine. At first I thought mine started a few colours after yours and I thought I would just knit ahead and then keep up with you, but that has not happened so far. I'm ready to turn my heel and I think tomorrow would be enough to use the day 10 color for my short row heel, but I'm probably not going to risk it and will likely turn my heel with the contrast color tonight, so I'm ready for tomorrow. :)

[@deniseengel1451]

I hope we hear tomorrow that you are going to Sweden!

[@lori6404]

Definitely TJMaxx or Marshall's for luggage

[@joanmachado9063]

Good morning

[@margaretkoch3967]

Hi this question is for Anne. I was wondering if you made all of the wall hangings behind you there in the videos. If so, where did you get the patterns? They are just lovely.

[@PurlTogether]

Hi Margaret, they are Dorset buttons and we answer your question in tomorrow's video! Thanks for asking

[@margaretkoch3967]

​@PurlTogether tell Anne thanks for answering my question; thanks also Jana for addressing it

[@anitawessels3932]

Ann is this a schengen visa. My son (from South Africa) is working on a cruiseship and he had to get one.

[@debbiewhitehead1091]

I put some colorful tape on my black luggage

[@kathiejoseph33]

Brightly colored zip ties are easily identified on luggage.

[@dwent524]

I'm surprised you're talking about knitting on a plane?TSA doesn't confiscate knitting needles?

[@PurlTogether]

No, you can knit on a plane www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/knitting-needles

[@dwent524]

@PurlTogether WOW!! this is great to learn...thank you!
