Airport Security

I thought I would share some of my flying experience from this weekend with you. On the way up we were good citizens and we made sure not to carry on any liquids of any kind. On the way back to Atlanta I remembered to stash all my lipstick etc but when my husbands bag went through the xray machine, he got stopped for a bag search. There was a half empty bottle of water in his bag. The security guys said "there it is" and pulled it out, and gave my husband his bag back.

So then we went to our plane and I sat down and opened my bag, there inside was a half empty bottle of water. I wondered how it was possible that we went through the same machines, one right after the other, seperated by some items inbetween (our jackets and shoes) and yet, they didn't see or stop my bottle of water. Says a lot doesn't it?

Romney - 2 ply low twist

The day before we left for boston my Spunky Eclectic monthly fiber club arrived. Some plumish-purple Romney. I spun up half of it straight away and then plied some to see how it would look. It spun up very even and pretty. The deep and rich purple/pink colors are a nice change.

And I give you this, just because it's cute:
Willow home again
If you look careful you will see Toby!

My fiance was flying from CA to Atlanta and back a week later, and he had a tube of toothpaste with him both ways that no one said anything about, but when I went to CA the day after he got back to CA, they were stopping people left and right.

Are you able to knit on the plane or are your needles considered deadly weapons?

How strange that your husband was stopped but not you! Bizarre. My parents are flying this weekend, and I'm interested to see if they get stopped.

That pink and purple color is so pretty! Do you have plans for it?
