Maybe plastic crochet hooks. I took my circular bamboo knitting needles on the plane to make dishcloths in June of this year. No problem.

First take along quilt project was : a needle turn applique that ended up as the middle panel of a quilt.

2nd was a GFG and I am almost done with all the flowers (44 triples) and 8 triple halves. Then I have to put them all together. I am not sure I will carry it anymore...we'll see if I do row by row, I might still be able to take it.

I am thinking about either Pine Burr from Quilters Cache (and making it into paper templates for at take along) OR elongated hexagons -- I think it is called a "lucy boston quilt". I saw it on here...and it looks cool!

When we went to Florida this summer, I was able to carry on a small pair of scissors. I bought some little Fiskars for school children that were sharp but had blunt ends. (I took some crazy quilting squares that needed the seams embellished,)

Go into a Joanns or michaels and find an embroidery project (maybe that comes with the thread)- get a hoop. Don't know if you can even get small embroidery scissors onto a plane but just in case, take nail clippers for clipping thread. If you find something on cotton you can incorporate it into a quilt when you get home... Another idea is to find some prequilted material - Use an iron on transfer to transfer images onto Christmas stocking that you pre-cut at home. Take hoop and thread and embroider enough for the family.

When I travel I usually take along a cathedral window quilt to work on. It's mostly done by hand and I usually do pairs while I'm on the plane and then when I have more room in the hotel I start putting them into rows. It's a great travel project and doesn't take up much room in your carryon.

That's what I would do also very easy to travel with

I make yo-yo's for a scarf for my buffet and some or a christmas tree skirt.
