Crochetted rocks


I had some Berroco Seduce yarn left over from a scarf. I had found a pattern awhile back for crochetting around sea glass to make a necklace, but hadn't done anything with it; until last night. I didn't have any sea glass, and I only had a small amount of Seduce left, but I did have a largish piece of Obsedian from my trip to Asheville, NC awhile back (I'm quite the rock hound, just ask my husband.) and thought it might look cool in this necklace. Well, I had enough yarn to crochet around the rock, but not enough for the "chain" of the necklace and this stone is a little too large and heavy for a necklace for me, so I think I'll just clasify it as one of those cool found objects. It could be a paperweight, but I don't think it's quite big enough for that. It might look cool with others in a bowl. I love how it turned out and would like to crochet around some more found things, maybe shells or pieces of wood. Berroco Seduce is perfect for this, a little slippery, but I had so much fun I might have to get another skein (or two).
