As we prepare for holiday air travel, many of us look forward to taking our knitting projects along with us on our journeys. Finishing a few rows while awaiting the next flight can really make the wait seem shorter and ease travel tensions.

MKG Website Exclusive - knitters.org
Ever since September 11, 2001, all knitters have been concerned about carrying their needles and accessories (scissors, etc.) on board commercial aircraft. We've all heard the horror stories of crafters having their needles and tools confiscated by airport security. Many of us have opted to carry self-addressed stamped envelopes (SASE) to send our needles home if they aren't allowed through the security checkpoint.

The additional $5 is a way for all of us to support the Textile Center. It is our pledge to the Textile Center's capital campaign, to be paid out in increments of $1,500 per year over the next five years.
Get the most out of your love of knitting! Membership benefits include pre-registration for Yarnover, a subscription to our quarterly Cable Gram, organized public service projects and camaraderie with fellow knitters. Annual dues are $30.
