2010 seems to be the year of new electronics. After 3+ years of happiness, I finally upgraded from my old LG LX125 to a Blackberry. And after 4+ years of disgruntled complaints about my old camera Pixelle, I’m now taking pictures with a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS, a holiday gift from my sister.

And of course, I knitted a cover for my new, lither camera — out of yarn from bamboo from South West Trading Company. The white trim’s upcycled from my taking apart a knitted hat I got from Jet Rag, and the button’s a spare from my Loomstate for Target top. The whole cover looks cuter in real life. I unfortunately couldn’t take a flattering photo of it as my new camera was in the thing; I had to make do with my phone camera.

Which is to say — I no longer need Pixelle, a.k.a. my old Canon PowerShot A510, pictured above. Want it? Let me know!

Above’s a photo of the camera now, which no longer has a wriststrap and looks scuffed up, though it still takes decent digital pictures like it always has. To the left is an older photo of Pixelle in its knitted cover.

Priority will go to someone who can offer me rabbit ears for my TV — which I currently only use to watch DVDs but hear could pick up quite a few good channels with rabbit ears. But regardless of whether or not you have rabbit ears, do let me know if you want the camera — DIY cover included — by commenting or emailing greenlagirl@gmail.com.

Happy New Year, everyone!
