One of the items I won at BlogHer was a Nikon Coolpix S60 signed by Ashton Kutcher.  It is a pretty neat camera.  My Canon S5 (I love this camera!) will still be my main camera but sometimes it is too big to lug around to events or family outings.   I had been looking for a good point and shoot to keep in my purse.  Needless to say, I was super excited to hear that I won this one!

It didn’t come with a case so I decided to knit one up for it at knitting group last night.  I didn’t use a pattern.  I just cast on (around 40 stitches) on my double pointed needles and started working in the round.  After about 4 rows, I made a row of eyelets (k1, yo, k2 tog) so I could have it function as a drawstring bag.  When I got to the end I bound off and seamed it up using the mattress stitch.

The yarn is a handspun that was purchased off of Etsy.  Oobbles bought this yarn for me and I absolutely love it.  I can’t find the seller anymore but it is a handspun, hand dyed merino and is great to work with.  Now that I have this cozy I can toss my camera in my bag and not worry about it getting scratched!
