from sylrayj, whose ISP is down...

in the Spring/Summer 2002 Vogue Knitting International, Susan Warren of the Wall Street Journal writes an article about how knitting needles, crochet hooks, and craft scissors (those little folding ones with the 1" blade") are no longer allowed on many airlines and in major sports venues. apparently, even embroidery needles and cross-stitch needles (little more than metal toothpicks, they don't have a point so that they don't split the weave of the canvas) are being confiscated.

sadly, this article is not available online. also, sadly, i can't imagine coping with a plane trip without something to do with my hands. i know i'm not the only one. :p

check before you fly... or get arrested.

hello craft girlies, have been enjoying your mucho cool entries as of late. I have recently made a nifty new mesh box with beads and thread and such, and a mandala made out of crayon pieces and an old cheese board - but my digital camera is lost, so I can't show pictures right now. I also wanted to let you know that I started a community called i_love_me that you might like. Finally, have any of you ever taken apart a clock to use its inside parts? At the craft store, the clock parts cost around $10, but a cheap clock at target costs $4 - so it seems easier to just take one apart - but i'd like to have some guidance. any suggestions?
