If you're traveling on a US Domestic carrier, 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. Thread a lifeline in your work just in case. If for whatever reason the agent doesn't let the needles through, take the needles out and mail the needles back to yourself. The stitches will be held safely on the lifeline. 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.
