What's in Your Wallet?

This all started out because I was looking for my little pink camera and my US cell phone, but couldn't find them.  So, being the clever girl I am, I figured it was time to clean out my backpack.

salt stains from the car floor

Mr Knits often complains about how heavy my backpack is and questions me about what it is in it. I tell him that my laptop is heavy and I just have a couple of skeins of yarn in there. Or...

Guess I lied! Awesome collection of junk, if I don't say so myself!

Let's break it all down so you can see just what a packrat I am.

three addi turbo packages - empty

about 100 beads, 1 stitch market and $2.22 change

3 knitting patterns, 1 sewing pattern

needle sizer and modem cd

correspondence from Jan and Feb 2010

Crochet hook and 4 pens

shopping receipts from Dec 2009 and Jan 2010

$105 that was folded up with the above receipts (I'm rich!)

2 circular knitting needles - don't know what size, but I
can use the needle sizer above to find out

pictures of me playing my flute (why do I have these in
my backpack?)

Mr Knits' late Uncle Vern's Parker Active Service Set

yarn label, makeup, photo corner cutter

fake jewels from last Easter

Aeroquipa shawl project - about 1.5 years old

My computer and charger

Yarn barf

A few skeins of yarn

The "lost" cell phone and 2 credit cards I didn't know
were missing

By the way, the camera was in there too! I used it to take these photos. Now all the junk is on the lesson room table waiting to be put away. I'd better get working on getting it cleared off. Have a great day!

Edited to add:  I went into the lesson room to clear off the table, and thought I should weigh the backpack and all the junk first. So I shoved everything back into the back pack and weighed it - 14.7 pounds! Since the table is cleared off now, and I am having a meeting at the shop tonight, I think I'll leave the junk in the back pack for another day or two.

So...what's in your knitting bag?
