Over the years I've used different bags and tins and nothing seemed quite right. Too small, too big, too flimsy, too bulky. I've never had one notions bag that I could grab and go and be assured that I was prepared for every knitting scenario.
I've now been using this bag for about six weeks and it's perfect!
My necessary notions: Starting from the bottom center: stitch markers, stitch holders, cheat sheet for M1L and M1R (I never remember!), hand lotion, small scissors (These were my Mom's.), a bag with rubber bands, paper clips and small coil-less pins, cable needles, nail file, pen, stitch counter, tape measure, crochet hook, post-its and Chibi darning needles.
And here's all the stuff inside. Neat and tidy!
Do you carry a notions bag? What works for you and what are your necessary notions?

Yes, I carry little bags like this. Yours is more elegant. :o)
Mine contain pretty much what yours does, though the scissors are really those tiny Swiss knives with scissors in them.
I have three because, it helps my tired brain. One is for the sock tote, one each for the two sweater totes. I like a grab and run. 40% off at M and Jo's have populated these handy things.
Happy knitting!
Yep, don't want to be without my notions bag. I have a clear plastic cosmetic bag that looks to be about the same size as yours. I like being able to see in it as I search. But yours is so pretty that I might need to rethink my clear plastic pouch.
;) I prefer to just drop everything into a larger bag, let it drift to the bottom and then have to rummage to find anything ... if I even remember its in there.
It is not for lack of organizing materials that this occurs - it is too many UFOs.
I *love* the bag! Repeating pattern!! And the cheat sheet for M1R and M1L is genius. Genius. Must make one for myself. I mostly use a small tin and toss it into whatever project bag I'm currently using.
I have a Namaste Buddy case gifted to me by Luann that has my absolute necessities: a gauge tool/needle sizer, scissors, needle, yarn scraps and lots of markers.
If you teach yourself to cable without a cable needle, you can remove those from your toolkit ;)
