Choker

[Michelle Myers]

Here's a choker I made following the pattern in the new Interweave Knits Crochet magazine. Has anyone else tried it? It called for hemp, but I used #10 cotton thread, doubled. I have a ton of 10/2 tencel scraps laying around from weaving projects, and I may try making one with that as well. Let me know what you think! Perhaps I'll cross post to the accessories show & tell...

i like this one! i've seen others and wasn't really diggin' them. maybe it has a thing or two to do with the yarn substitution. and i like it much better in black~* good job. it doesn't look bulky around your neck or out of place. (like some of the others i've seen)

[Michelle Myers]

Not bulky at all. In fact, it's so light and airy that you forget you have it on. The only problems I have with it are (a) I put the middle motif on slightly askew, so the button in the back isn't centered (I really should stop eyeballing and start measuring) and (b) it's a little loose so the center motif moves around and I have to keep centering it. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to work the clasp in the back so that it's adjustable? The pattern calls for just a button loop and button, but it occurs to me that people have different neck circumferences.

I didn't much care for it, but maybe it was the hemp I didn't like...I like yours.

WHOA!! That is breathtaking. Hey, Katandia, is that pattern in the copy of Interweave you bought at Joe Muggs? If so, I want to borrow it.
