Taking knitting on an easyjet flight

browneyedbazzi

Possibly an odd question, but does anyone know if easyjet allow passengers to take knitting on their flights?

I've had a look at the .gov website and it says knitting needles are ok

But I know some of the budget airlines can be quite difficult so I wonder if they have different rules? I haven't been able to find anything on their website but I'm worried I'm missing something.

Do you want to knit during the flight?

Yes, I do if it is possible. I have a new project on and it'll keep me occupied both on the flight and while waiting in the departure lounge etc.

I travel regularly to Ireland with Ryan Air. I always take knitting with me in my carry on luggage. However, I have never actually knitted on the flight as it is usually less than an hour from take-off.

Yes, you are allowed one set of needles on the plane. I'm a stitcher and it does attract some funny looks, personally I see nothing odd in it!

Thanks folks! I've got a flight tomorrow that's just under 4 hours so I thought it would be a good opportunity to crack on with my current project. I can cope with funny looks!
