How I love my new compact camera. It's slim, sleek and actually fits in a pocket instead of causing shoulder strain when simply occupying my purse like my old one. As such, I wanted to protect my new toy without adding the bulk of traditional cases. Camera sock is on the job!
I had a lone skein of Shepherd Sock stash yarn that worked out perfect. I'm rather digging the barber poll swirling effect the pooling has going on too. Now I just have to remember to use my camera when I actually take it places.
Pattern: Camera Sock by Not an Artist
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, #36 Newtown
Needles: US size 1 (2.25 mm)
Mods: I used a size larger needle simply because I couldn't be fussed to buy the correct ones. I decreased 4 sts for the ribbing, then increased 2 from that in the St st to compensate for the larger needles.
I love the colours of your Shepherd Sock stash. Soooo funky! xxxxxx
i just got that same camera! fantastic little cover for it - now, i will have to go stash diving for some sock yarn - fantastic!
The sock looks great - you're right about its barberpole-ness :)
That camera case is awesome!! Love that yarn.
I'm making that right now too! I just need to graft the ends! I used leftover Opal Hundertwasser in soft blues, yellow, white, and red. I wish I had measured the leftover skein prior to knitting this and then measured again when I was done to figure out how much yarn this used - very little, from what I can tell.
Very pretty camera case! I'm a person that needs to remember to use the camera when I take it places too.
Cute! Yeah, I really need to get better about bringing my camera with me and taking pictures. What happened? I used to be good about that...in college anyway.
Hi, Love it, neat tidy sorted. Gingerbread
