Packing for a Road Trip

If you are like me, lists are one of your favourite things.  In my Midori Traveler's Notebook,  have a list of items I usually pack for shows, classes and road trips.  These are all very important items as a fibre worker, because there is nothing worse than being unprepared.  

For starters, I usually bring at least one knitting and one crochet project.  Something that is easy enough to work on while talking to others, singing along to the radio and easy enough to pick up and put down without losing your place.  Socks are always a great option.  Since fall is around the corner, I am on a shawl kick and have decided to crochet Blurre.  I have picked a few skeins and wound them into balls (very important) to prepare.  I make sure I have a few hooks on hand in case my gauge is out.  I am also really wanting to use a skein I bought from Dye for Ewe at the Blue Hills Fibre Fest.  I decided to start Liplatus.  I think it will show off the yarn beautifully and I can always adjust as I go.  Both of these projects are in their own bags which I bought from Dragon Fibre Bags (who will also be at the Manitoba Fibre Festival!)  Make sure you have a pair of scissors and all the appropriate notions as well.  If you have any WIP's these are also great road trip projects to get them finished and off your needles.

I am also bringing along a couple spindle projects.  Supported spindles are really wonderful for using as a passenger as long as you don't punch the driver in the side of the head hehe.  I have decided to bring my GhstWorks spindle as it is a great travel spindle in both size and durability.  I am spinning some Wacky Windmill BFL (Owl Eyes) on it.  I am also bringing my Capar Tiny Turkish which is a wonderful, wonderful little spinner.  You can also find these and others in larger sizes at the Manitoba Fibre Festival.

This should have me covered.  Of course, there will be souvenir yarn and fibre purchased, as well as a few tools I'm sure.  What do you bring on a road trip?  Am I missing anything?
