Make. Knitted Camera Cozy
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. 
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.

My 7 year old was watching me knit yesterday and asked if I would teach her how to knit. In fact, she asks me almost every time she sees me knitting. I don't think she has the motor skills to handle needles yet. Do you have any other suggestions on how I can get her started?
You can try it with her! I've seen some 5 year olds that have been knitting.
