If I need to take it anywhere then the bottom of the tin box can easily be added for travel. And bonus, the edge keeps my stitch ripper from rolling away.
About the stitch ripper rolling away, that is so annoying. I wonder why no one has made one with a flat side on the handle so it will stay where you place it. It seems I spend a lot of time bending over to pick mine up off of the floor. I suppose it is good for the waistline but what a pain.
