It depends on where you are going. I would check with the airlines you
are going to travel with. Usually, in the US you can take knitting
needles, but I would take either bamboo, wood, or plastic.

It you are traveling Internationally, DO NOT take knitting needles.
I got around that by taking two pencils. It worked!! Make sure the wood
is smooth by sanding down any rough edges, and use dark yarn since the
lead from the pencils might come off on the yarn.

Mirjam,
I knit and crochet at the doctors office often.

The men really give me some crazy looks, it does on bother me. Once and
a while I will wink and smile at them, Gail gets mad when I do that but
the men look the other way

I have seen it many times here in the Rockford and Chicago, Illinois
area. We have many groups in the suburban area.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

I wasn't aware that knitting or crocheting in public was problematic these
days. When I was a kid - a l-o-o-ong time ago - it was so common. I can even
remember seeing a woman tatting as she walked down the street. A real feat.
However I recall knitting while waiting in a dentist's office recently and
two little girls watched me with fascination as if they had never seen the
process before. I believe they never had. Of course handiwork was once more
of a necessity than a hobby as it is these days.

Rita,

If I was not a man I don't believe I would get such stares. It does not
bother me. If I have something small to finish I take it with me.
Before became ill and quit driving I would sit and knit once in a while.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

The idea of you winking at the men while you knit made me smile Good
for you for not letting it bother you enough to make you stop!

Ah - now I understand. Well historically you have a of company. Centuries
ago after knitting was introduced into Europe, men were the knitters and
their wives, the spinners. Examples of their work that exist are quite
beautiful Happy knitting!

Here, for men, knitting is supposed to be a chick magnet...

That is cool.....I am riding in a car to Lake Cumberland Kentucky for a 5
day holiday and plan to knit blanket squares for charity...a little mindless
knitting and plan to also take extra needles and yarn in the hopes I can get
my youngest Niece interested. My other Niece that already knits wants to
learn how to make hats in the round.

I get headaches if I read in the car so hope I will be able to knit.

Take Care and Bee WellG

Donna

on winking and smiling at the men, one day that may work out differently
than you thought! Don't do that if you are not with Gail!
