Crochet on a Plane

So I'm off on my hols on the 25th January thanks to my amazing Mother and Father.

I've decided to take some crochet to do on the flight as I can't take knitting needles on the plane. Bloody bombers spoiling it for the rest of us!

I love the fact that a girl with severe arthritis could be seen as some kind of potential threat with a pair of knitting needles in her possession.

I've decided to do another crochet shawl in 4ply and I have a rather lovely purple colour to do it in. I've been experimenting with hook sizes and some regia sock yarn (because this is the only 4ply I have out of my vacuum bag stash which lives in the bottom of my wardrobe!)

I want the shawl to be quite open so I'm using an 8mm hook.

Even though it was an experiment, I quite like the results and I may finish it as it will go with the fingerless mittens that have yet to finish. I may also thread some beads onto it to make it sit better.

So if the staff at the airport by any crazy chance think that I am a terrorist and they do take my hook off me, it only cost me £2:50 so it won't break the bank!
