So, what kind of packer are you when you take a trip? Having battled for years to become a light packer, I have been somewhat successful when it comes to clothing. My knitting, however, is a completely different animal. After all, you have to take your current project but, what about contingency knitting? For you knitting newbies who don't know what contingency knitting is, let me enlighten you. Let's say you're on an overnight car trip to visit your daughter at college. You bring your current fav project to work on. But wait! What if you need something else to stimulate your interest in case you get bored or frustrated (or say, break your needle) or decide a lace pattern was not the best choice for the car? So, you need a simple, keep-my-hands-busy project. Then you need to consider your destination. What if you want to have a show stopper, 'why yes I adore intarsia' project in case you meet a fellow knitter and feel the need to be admired. And, perhaps I should take one skein of something fabulous to try one of the projects in One Skein Wonders. See what I mean? How can I possible take less than three (or four) projects? Now, what about a week long trip to the beach? How many suit cases does the airline let me take???

Lol, that's how I am with books and journals. I feel your contingency pain :]
While I'm no knitter, I have a similar issue with my camera gear & laptop! Our "stuff" always seems to expand to fill all available space! LOL
