Blue Aquarius mermaid choker necklace

I got the idea for this when I made a tank top out of Sensations Rainbow Boucle yarn (which I really love) and realized it looked a bit like waves.
 Boucle is a type of yarn made by wrapping one of the strands looser than the others thus creating loops.  It can be a little difficult to work with at first, the loops have a tendency to catch on the needles and you have to work somewhat loosely at the beginning because the loops will pull out near where you cut it, thereby losing the boucle part of the yarn. But once you get used to it it's fine.

Variegated yarn is yarn that has been dyed with more than one color giving you the look of color working without the effort. And with a lot more randomness.
   Something I learned making this; if you knit a choker length wise and then sew a metal pendent on it, it will stretch out, horribly. So I make my knitted chokers from the bottom up.
 
   It is 14" long and 1 1/16" wide , not stretched, with an almost 1" silver plated mermaid pendant. The clasps is a hook and eye. Yarn is 88% acrylic and 12% nylon.
Can be made longer or shorter. Available in light blue, first two pictured, dark blue, not shown, and a mix, last picture. (Mix may not look exactly as pictured, because it is made by using variegated yarn.)
  I think it is perfect for that special someone born between Jan. 20 and Feb.18. I also thing it would be a great something blue, especially for an Aquarius or someone with a beach theme wedding.
