craftgrrl | Crocheted Chokers

I was inspired by this post here: http://community.livejournal.com/crochetcrochet/54722.html
So I decided to try some crocheted chokers of my own.

I crocheted this choker out of Sugar N Cream cotton. It's about 1 1/4" wide. I went searching for beads on the Firemountain Gems website and I think this little fella might work well to hang from the center. http://www.firemountaingems.com/details.asp?PN=H152300NB Any thoughts?

Also, I did make a rainbow choker. It's out of Red Heart acrylic and ended up being a bit scratchy. I'm not sure how to soften it up. I'm thinking I prefer the cotton yarn for these. The texture looks nicer than acrylic and it wears more comfortably.

Finally, I made a choker out of my guild's colors. It's a girl's guild in the online game, World of Warcraft.

This was made out of Carron's simply soft, so it's a lot more comfortable but I still wonder if cotton would look nicer texture-wise. I didn't see colors like this in the Sugar n Cream but I think they might have had a variegated purple. If I find a nice gold or yellow charm in the shape of a butterfly, our crest, I may try that instead.
