I second Windy Knitty, which is actually right in the neighborhood that you’ll be staying! Very convenient 🙂 There is a place called Sister Arts Studio between Windy Knitty and Loopy Yarns, but I think the selection might not be as big/they focus more on classes and events. Also, I’ve never had a problem with needles, but I think that some places might require that the needles be wood or plastic rather than metal.

Oh! Windy Knitty will be close to you, then! http://windyknitty.com 🙂 I really love them, but as I’m in the South Loop, I really only get up there when they have something specific I want, or I combine them with another trip.

Where will you be in the city? Loopy Yarns is in the South Loop – super friendly ladies with a cozy-feeling but v. spacious store. Lots of Berroco and Cascade, but plenty of really lovely higher-end stuff, too. Windy Knitty is way up on the north side – smaller shop than Loopy, but chock full of a wonderful selection of yarns; staff is crazy friendly there, too.

As far as needles go, I’ve never had a problem bringing mine, and I’ve read that lots of people print out the TSA page which says they are allowed, and bring that with to the airport, just in case.
