Making this review in case you are like me and had many questions about this roll that amount to the general question - will it work? I couldn’t find my specific use case so hopefully this helps someone else out. I debated for a long time between this size and the mini and I’m happy I decided on the nutshell.
I’m not an artist but I am one of those people that reads by writing all over their books with highlights, flags, and post its. I also like to write things down in a pocket notebook (field note size).
The inside flap is just tall enough to fit pens/ highlighter/ sharpie. The pen pockets are wide enough for a fountain pen, but it is on the tight side (I fit an FC ambition which is a slimmer profile FP). A pocket notebook will fit in the inside pocket. I put it on the inside to demonstrate the flap will fold over, but I normally use a leather cover for mine and like that the strap can hold both the wrap and the cover. I was curious if you change the fold point if it would fold flatter into more of a bifold instead of a roll and the answer is also yes!
In the zip pocket I fit an aspirin tin and post its. The only thing I struggled to fit was a small roll of tape due to the thickness of the roll (1cm) which is a fine limitation to reach.

I have wanted this roll ever since I saw it on Leslie Stroz channel.
I even made one and tried it out with my art supplies and didn’t like the layout for my outings.
But for knitting, this little roll is absolutely perfection for my interchangeable knitting needles!
It’s the best setup and the perfect size.
Love an unexpected use!

I have two other artist roll sizes for different art tools.
I like the nutshell because I can have my few favorite tools without overwhelming myself. I can throw it in a bag or use it in the evening sketching in bed.
Definitely recommend for a small kit.
