I can't see why you wouldn't be able take knitting needles into France, don't the French knit?

I drive through France on a pretty regular basis and have any number of tools, knives etc in the boot of my car and having them with me has never been a problem.

There is not a problem taking knitting needles in to France via car, they are only banned in France on airplanes, most other countries have relaxed this rule however France still consider them as a potential weapon and are not allowed on any air route in France.

Of course you can! And knitting is becoming a new (!) craft craze here .... click away!

Thanks guys, didn't think it wood, sorry would, be an issue
