If you're traveling on a US Domestic carrier, then yes, knitting needles and crochet hooks are on the TSA's "allowed" list for your carry-on bag.
However, the ultimate decision remains with the TSA agent at the security checkpoint. The agent may override the TSA guidelines if he/she feels an item is a threat.
To be safe, take a self addressed, stamped, padded envelope with you along with some waste yarn. If for whatever reason the agent doesn't let the needles through, transfer the knitting onto the waste yarn and mail the needles back to yourself. Of course, pack extra needles in your checked bag so you can resume knitting once you land.
I've flown with knitting needles many times since 9-11 and haven't been stopped, but I always have my envelope with me just in case.

I've taken knitting in my carryon before with no trouble. I've never tried to take metal needles, only plastic.
Last time I checked, though, knitting needles were listed on the acceptable list at the security checkpoint.

i know that knitting needles have been banned. I have no theory in the event that they have loosened that up or no longer even nonetheless. i does no longer sense they have. The friendly element to do may well be to call the airline. in case you could't get a definitive respond from any individual, err on the component of warning and %. Them and placed across some puzzle books or playing cards rather.

I just asked this question at the airport two weeks ago. Take the plastic ones.
