Holiday Knitted Gifts
I couldn't post any of these before the holidays cause I was finishing them right up to the moment I had to wrap them. Nothing like last minute knitting. LOL.. Anyway, I wanted to share with all of you my finished objects.

A HUGE special thanks to all of you who helped me with my math and various other questions in respect to the guitar strap I made for my brother. He LOVED it!

Fantastic job on both! Your brother does look happy with his strap. Wonderful idea! I love the coffee cup holder on the left of the picture. You are a very talented woman!!!

No, there wasn't a pattern I used for this. I looked up every free knitted guitar strap I could to get a rough estimate of how they did it, but in the end, none of them were what I wanted so I created this one on my own.

Such a great idea for the guitar strap! I would never have thought of it. Great work on all of them.
