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.
