Circular needles seem like less of a threat, but regular ones should be okay. Worst case you have to check your bag for one leg of your trip. I'd put the knitting in a large purse rather than rollerboard. They never seem to find anything of interest in my purse but the examine the bag more closely.
Hi lili
Thanks for replying. We're talking two different versions of English. Purse? Rollerboard?
I think that for "purse" you mean (to me) handbag. My handbag isn't in the shuffle, the knitting will be put in my rucksack carry-on hand luggage. I think that for "rollerboard" you mean (to me) suitcase, which will be checked in and taken away from me until we reach destination.
Can't check the bag (suitcase) for one leg of the trip: not possible with international transit.
Thanks again for replying. I only mentioned Heathrow because it is also in the UK.
