Stone Necklace

I bought these stones over two years ago with the intention of making them into a necklace. It took me two whole years of pondering before I knew how I wanted to go about it, but I love how it turned out so it was worth the procrastination.

I crocheted around the stones with cotton from my grandmother-in-law's yarn stash that I was lucky enough to raid when we were visiting her in America awhile ago. I hung the stones on some hand twisted string I made from lengths of chain stitch crocheted cotton and silk I picked up at a garage sale cut into strips. And finally, I added some wood buttons from an old broken bracelet as decoration and to hold the three lengths of string together. 

I'm wearing my necklace over the top of the Cowl Vest I made two years ago, it has been one of my most used cozy accessories over the past couple of years. I like the effect of the necklace layered over the top of it.
