Sides: aching.
What I can tell you is that the kit is tall enough to accommodate a 6" tall needle gauge ruler, and wide enough for a pair of small scissors beside a pen, and also that I used iron-on interfacing on the wrong side of the outer fabric to keep the cover nice and crisp.
See? Doesn't it look nice and crisp?

Inside, it's kind of a book... of needles. Pages two and three: ruler and tape measure (that's what that is just peeping out of the pocket on the right.)

I used new fabric for the cover, fabric from an upcycled IKEA pillowcase for the liner and pockets, and felted wool from a Land's End boiled wool jacket for the inside pages. It was, after all, a Valentine's swap; it didn't feel right not to include lots of red.

Oh, I am so jealous. How can you create such things?
Mostly by ignoring dust bunnies and eating a lot of takeout ;^)
Oh, that has to be the sweetest knitting kit I have ever seen.
You are very clever !!
