can i take crochet hooks through Heathrow airport?

ok next week i'm going on a long hall flight to borneo from Heathrow airport, it's 24 hour flight and i don't want to die of boredom. i was wondering if anyone knew if i can take crochet hooks cuz i know knitting needles aren't aloud but crochet hook aren't pointed so i thought it was possible. it says nothing on the website about them. i was wondering if i'd be ok with plastic or wooden. i'm flying by royal brunei airlines, not sure what they would say either. can anyone help?

Firstly tex k, it's airport security that determine what passes them, NOT the airline, so don't bother phoning the airline.

There would be no problem with plastic crochet hooks, if your worried about them carry them on your person, not in the luggage which would show up on xray.

The worst possible scenario would be that they would be binned.

By learning to crochet, you'll soon realize that employers use a lot of abbreviations. These are crochet terms are shortened to make patterns shorter and easier to read. Any person learning to crochet needs to be familiar with basic crochet terms in order to properly read the patterns. There are a number of standard crochet terms and abbreviations used frequently. Some of these terms refer to different points crochet used in a section a table, while others refer to colors. MC is the crochet end of the main color used in a pattern. CC is the secondary color or dye used. YO means to wrap the yarn over the hook and CH is the term crochet a chain stitch.

There are even more standard crochet terms, such as South Carolina, which means that single crochet and dc, that is, double crochet. simple crochet and double crochet are simply ways of stitching, all terms used are based crochet in one point, which means inserting the crochet hook in one point, wrap the yarn around the hook and drawing the hook back through the stitch, wrapping the yarn over the hook and finally draw through both loops. There are also points of marriage crochet, abbreviated hdc, and treble crochet, which reduces to tr. SL is the abbreviation of the term slip stitch crochet.

Differences between British and American Crochet Terms

Some of the crochet patterns that you may come across could be American, but others could be anywhere in the world. A number of countries use Crochet certain terms that differ in other places. American and British standards, for example, differ in a number of terms of crochet. The main differences are important because they can completely alter a pattern if the contradictory meaning are used. American terminology crochet a slip stitch is called a single crochet in Britain. A low point of America is a high point in Britain. Similarly, a high point of America is considered a treble crochet and triple crochet American crochet is a British two-treble. It is essential that people who are learning to knit and using different patterns realize exactly what terms country are used. America's terms in a British Standard could ruin the whole project and vice versa. Most employers must indicate where they are or what crochet terminology used so long as care is taken, should not be too confusing.
