A while ago I made armwarmers out of the leg sections of an old pair of socks I’d handknit and had shrunk in the wash:
That left the feet sections unused. I kept them, thinking that eventually I’d find a use for them.
And I did. My new camera bag:
I’ve been using a cotton crocheted one since 2005. I tended to pop the spare battery in the bottom of the bag, but when the camera died and I got a new one I found both the new camera and battery were smaller. The battery was prone to slipping out when I took the camera out. It needed it’s own pocket.
I could have adapted the old, overly big bag, or knitted a new one from scratch, but adding a flap and pocket to one of the sock feet was faster. And I like how colourful it is.
As for the remaining foot… I’ll find a use for it one day.
Cute use of felted socks but I’m worried that static electricity it could damage your camera. I always recommend what when using a felted item as a bag for electronic gear, that it is lined with an anti-static fabric.
