There are adult scissors you can buy that will pass through security, by the way. They might be sharper than the kids' version.<br /><br />Just because you have a to-go kit doesn't mean you'll actually use it, though. Those yo-yo's have gone thousand of miles without me adding another one to the pile.Terri Thayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953154767532970027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-21315421458311781402009-12-19T07:39:40.160-05:002009-12-19T07:39:40.160-05:00What a wonderful idea for a gift, not just at Chri...What a wonderful idea for a gift, not just at Christmas but for a birthday or maybe someone retiring that you know enjoys knitting or crocheting.

I have a little "travel kit" for my miniature knitting also.<br />But I never thought of making up one for a gift. <br /><br />My pouch also has odds and ends like rubber tips that you put on the ends of the needles when that announcement comes! I'm going to add a ruler, thanks!Camille Minichinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701150885595400018noreply@blogger.com
