I have been looking at these luxury knitting cruises which are sometimes advertised. Getting a bit jealous. We haven't got enough water up here for that so I am organising a knitting tour on out local tourist railway this summer. :idea:
-
What a good idea, Renee. You must take some piccies as you go :thumbsup:
-
A knitting cruise ???
-
Oh, I prefer the idea of a train cruise! More scenery!
-
Yes a knitting train cruise has more appeal to me, too. :knit:

...and less vomiting...

Knit one , pearl one , on the orient express , doesn't have the same ring as murder on the orient express does it ?
And on the train cruise , you would end up casting off at the end of the journey , rather than the start ??
The scenery on the circle underground line , in London , isn't that good either , just cables going up and down ! Plus you would get locked up for carrying offensive weapons (needles) !

Bizarrely I was wanting to know if you can take knitting needles with you on a plane. Anyone know?

I doubt you are allowed them in a balloon , dunno about a plane though .

A customer told me recently you are only allowed wooden ones (or bamboo, I suppose). Unfortunately, I have the habit on sitting on them; have already broken a few... ;D

You didn't used to be able to but things may have changed. I took a crochet hook (albeit a wooden one) and no one batted an eyelid.

A but our train is a bit special. The driver gets out in the middle of Sweden and when he crosses the Artic circle and plays a tune on a trumpet. They stop for passengers to pick Cloudberries, raid the waiting stations for extra seats - Even had a whole gospel choir last year to entertain one weekend :knit: So they are really excited about being a knitting train. If I get enough people they will put on a steam engine.

Ooo can I come? :knit: :knit: :knit:

And me? I like the sound of that.

What a shame I don't have a passport anymore.
I think knitting needles are best put in main suitcase not in carry on luggage. There has been discussions on Ravelry. Apparently Mexico is very strict, someone got their crochet hooks and stuff confiscated.

I flew to America with wooden sock needles in my hand luggage. I was advised to get the project started, so that the needles were in the yarn and it was obvious what they were. I didn't have any problems, on the long haul flights or the internal ones. Mostly they didn't show up when they xrayed the bag, but they didn't care about them on the hand search either.
