Travel Knitting Kit

I have been working on developing a knitting kit - a set of tools to take with me along with whatever knitting project I am working on. I want this kit to:
  1. Be very small so that it fits in a purse, or bag.
  2. Supplement the pattern, needles and yarn required for a project
  3. Make it so that I never get stopped because I need something
  4. Make repairs of various mistake easy

I have a small pouch with 2 zippered pockets, and a clear vinyl pocket.
