My Crocodile Stitch Neckwarmer is Finished! Plus Necklace!

My Crocodile Stitch Neckwarmer is finished! I used 3 strands of size 10 thread held together and a size G Clover crochet hook.

I bought this wonderful patterns from Bonita Patterns on Ravelry.com.  It is an excellently written pattern and is easy to follow.

You see the crochet flower necklace around my neck?  I also managed to design this on my own.

There's another potential idea draped over my right shoulder!

Afrodite Colar (Aphrodite Collar) My New Project Before Christmas 2011

I am working on a new project right before Christmas this year.  It's something I haven't tried before and I think I'm going to enjoy this challenge.

I bought a pattern from Silvia called the, Afrodite Colar.  It's in Portuguese and I've been wearing out the Babelfish page on yahoo this weekend.

Basically, it's a floral collar which can probably double as a neck warmer, scarf or a thick necklace:

It's also featured at Miss Flor's crochet blog:

I settled on using a size F Clover hook for the green necklace/leaf part and a size C Clover hook for my flowers.  These flowers pictured are not from the pattern, just some that I had made up before holding 2 strands of size 10 thread together.  The green necklace/leaf part is also made holding 2 strands of size 10 thread together.

Here are some progress pictures:
