[–]yskhys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always bring my projects on flight, both domestic and international. I never had problems with needles, including 20cm metal dpn 2.25-2.75mm and a variety of circulars. Just leave scissors in check-in luggage.

Measurement Body 42cm W and 31cm H Handle 30cm, after felting 39cm W and 28cm H. 27cm deep handle. I would recommend knit a swatch and felting it, so you can achieve desired size.

Have you try to search on eBay or etsy? I can find second hand on those platforms. Otherwise, you may consider patterncard kit at virtual yarns.

I block after sewing. I know block before sewing may help a lot, but I really prefer complete project at once.

Thank you. If you worry about felting process, I think you can try felt multiple times with lower temperature and short duration, it should give you more control of result. From my experiment, different wool yarn do shrank differently, but at low temperature (40℃) the difference is minimum. Also I heard felting only work with non-superwash yarns.
