More Scrunchies and a Crocheted Strap

Aside from working on the diagrams of my designs, I made some small stuff that give me a sense of accomplishment.
Here are the scrunchies I made, I finished 7, and another one is almost done. I actually like all these colors, I plan to make more so I can keep some for myself ;)
(Previous scrunchies made are here.)





Again I modeled one. I love using cotton thread for this. I can wear it on my thin hair and it doesnt fall off ;)






This one is a thick strap done with one strand of Cannon cotton thread. Its 1.3meters long and I'm 1/2 done with its width. My son (the 16 yr. old) custom ordered it from me. I'll leave you to guess what this is for ;)

    Hmmm... I am racking my brain to guess what that strap is for, but I can't think of anything... I'll ask my son(s) and see what they think it is... :) Does he play any instruments that he would need a strap for, maybe? That would be my guess.

    Hmmm... I´m thinking too... Maybe to take a dog or cat out? To be a belt is just too long...

    Hi Mimi,
    Kumusta na? I would like to make those scrunchies but I just had a haircut, my hair is too short right now. Maybe next year ~_^. I'm guessing the strap is for a guitar.

    Hi Tina, Vik and Beth! Thanks for stopping by :D
    Tina, you were on the right track ;)
    Vik, it was fun making you guess :P
    Beth, of course you're right! You are a musical family, I suppose, since your son is very good on the piano.
    My son wanted to have his own electric guitar, but we couldnt afford it yet :(
    A friend of his let him borrow one, and he asked me to make a strap for it!

    Lovely scrunchies,Mimi. I'm so glad someone else guessed the guitar strap. I had no idea - very clever!

    Thanks Jaye!
    I'm hoping that it turns out what my son expects it to, since I've not seen a guitar strap closely, and I didnt have a pattern to guide me :p

    My son plays guitar too so that was my guess but it looks like everyone already figured it out.

    Cute scruchies!

    Hi Sue! Thanks for stopping by =)
    I dont even know if the strap would turn out right, as I've not seen a real one...
