Today at Jo's Country Junction, Jo talks about planning her time while she is the passenger on a road trip. I do the same thing she does but probably for a different reason. I am a horrible passenger! So I always have a "To Go Project". My current project is my granny square afghan which is also the project I have been working on off and on during my Binding Friends Wednesday group.
I have figured out that crochet is the best car project for me. Better than knitting where I must pay attention or I have to rip out. I am not good at picking up my stitches so that usually means I have to start over. With crochet, I can just take out what I need to and go from there.
Since I took the time to get this project organized (and my ball winder is here so my yarn has been wound into manageable balls) I just make sure I have what I need in my 2 gallon zip bag (how much do I love these things!) so when we are going, I just grab my bag.
On our last trip to town and I dropped my scissors, I told Ernie I needed to rig up a little stuff holder. Then I remembered this tutorial from Karen at Sew Many Ways. So this morning on my way to BF, I am going to stop and pick up a cup holder.
Today is a good day to write your own Waste Not Wednesday post and link up here with Jo.

What did we do before zip-lock bags? I use them to organize knitting projects and gadgets, too.
Truth be told..I'm not the best passenger either. :)
Comment testing...I hope there are no weird word verification things.
I am a terrible passenger, too, so I always have something to work on or a magazine that I haven't seen in awhile. I totally agree about the crochet. That is usually my take along project, too. I love your squares.
