Crochet Hooks on planes

[Anna114]

So I'm just getting my stuff together for my up coming trip. I will be flying Southwest on Sunday morning. Does anyone know if you can bring a crochet hook on the flight. I'm packing my counted cross stitch due to the needles and scissors. I will only have my yarn and hook. TIA for any help

You can take all your stuff. You can take your cross stitch. There is no problem with the needle or the what I am assuming are small scissors. I think the blade has to be shorter than 4 inches for TSA

Crochet hooks, knitting needles and small scissors are all no problem and needlework needles.

I would call and check with your specific airport. I had a problem with small safety scissors when I wanted to do lanyard work. Also had a problem with a small screwdriver as well.( it was for my tap shoes ) Both were confiscated by TSA.

Just flew home on Delta 2 hours ago, crocheted on all my flights, I usually take small safety scissors (blunt tip) but I forgot them this trip, so I used nail clippers without any trouble.

I'm not sure about the screwdriver, but the scissors definitely should have been allowed. It's a TSA regulation, so it doesn't vary by airport. You were just unlucky and got a poorly trained agent.
