Chopstick Knitting

Posted on October 21, 2009 at 11:32pm

I went home this weekend and my mom proudly told me about how, when she found out knitting needles weren’t allowed on a plane, she decided to modify chopsticks instead. Not going to let rules against sharp objects get in the way of her in-flight activities.

    Actually, knitting needles are allowed; I do it all the time. However, that does not discount the ingenuity. It's something my sister would recommend and she's 2nd gen like me. And happy to be so. Once we wanted to play bocce but didn't have a set so contemplated using rocks.
