The only thing I have ever lost is a pair of sewing scissors. I didn't have time to go out and mail them to myself.No trouble with needles or hooks.

Actually, even pointy scissors are now okay as long as the blades are under a certain length, I think it's 2". I routinely take nail scissors on board with no problems, even on most international flights (Stockholm, Amsterdam as examples).

I fly with multiple pairs of nail clippers every time I fly -- the one in my knitting project in addition to the one I always carry, for nail clipping purposes, in my purse. I have never, ever had any problems. Nail clippers are allowed items on domestic US flights. They're what I'd recommend carrying for yarn- or thread- clipping purposes over scissors, which even though they're now allowed people still seem to occasionally have problems with.
Although I know many people fly with them without difficulty (presumably because they don't look threatening in the X-ray) remember that the circular pendant cutters are explicitly NOT allowed by the TSA. |

Someone once suggested that if you have dp bamboo needles and are questioned about them, just say they are chopsticks. I don't know if that will work, but it might.
