I’m always worried that airport security might take my knitting needles, but I love knitting on flights. I pack wooden needles in my carry-on, thinking they might draw less attention on the x-ray scanner compared to metal ones. So far, I haven’t had any issues. Much love from Turkey!🤗
It really does depend on the person working at the xray machine, I flew with Turkish airline 4 times in that trip and only 1 airport didn't let me go though with them, They refused all needles, even wooden or crochet hooks cause they were " pointy" or "you could technically stab someone with them." The guy really didn't want to hear about anything and just threw them out, he was pretty rude... But yeah wooden needles are usually easier to travel with. its frustrating but you can never be 100% sure the needles will make it though at least that flight was just 1h.. so not a long one at all,
Oh I love turkey so so much! I've worked in Bodrum and Antalya and I love everything about it. People, food, energy, weather! I enjoyed your episode as well, thanks a lot and Merry Xmas!
it looks so gorgeous, eve! I think it’s so funny I was recommended to rewatch the elizabeth blouse vlog a few days ago and then this yarn saga continues! you make me want to get a ginormous cone of a lovely yarn. my sincere condolences to your needles in that turkey airport, that sucks! also my icord on my cumulus blouse (not tee) flared & rolled really bad at first because I did not decrease every 4th icord row, once I did that it fixed the rolling! not sure if the tee pattern is the same. it looks beautiful, love this color on you 💙
I want to get another one of these! or maybe some other type of lace fibre to hold together cause its worth it! oh and good Idea for the rolling Ill give the pattern another look, I'm not sure what i did hahah it was late at night when I worked the icord
what a great Idea I didn't think of that! I will try and wear it a couple of times see if it gets better, and If not I will rip that back and do the folded hem. Thank you!!
I got It at a local fibre convention last year, it handmade. I found this seller online, www.urbanyarns.com/needle-books-by-edna/?srsltid=AfmBOorE1gVpMQbPE3AG8PcFbWCLpeQAkEiV56xuFdB4-dfTODOO0pQx
Honestly I’m surprised that the rolled hem isn’t an intentional part of the pattern. Most patterns I’ve seen with straight Stockinette edges have the pattern pics with rolled hems because that’s just what Stockinette does (and also why most patterns I knit have lace or ribbed edges)
The shirt does make you finish with an icord to help the rolling, and it worked for the sleeves here, but not as much for the body it seems. wearing it has helped tho!

good idea on the wooden or bamboo needles.

It's absolutely beautiful ❤️
I'd like to make this but I'm a bit of a newb...would changing the hem to a folded hem resolve the rolling issue?
what a great Idea I didn't think of that! I will try and wear it a couple of times see if it gets better, and If not I will rip that back and do the folded hem. Thank you!!
@knittingwitheve I feel so clever now 😂
Your top turned out beautifully! On a side note, I need to know how you store your needles! That needle case is gorgeous! Where did you get it??

Where did you purchase your cone?
I bought it at Kensington prairie farm when I visited them 2 years ago for the annual alpaca wool sheering 🌻😊
