This is quite lovely! If you make another you might want to use a yarn a shade darker or one a bit lighter to highlight the color of the stone.

Thank you! In fact I am doing that right now, using a different, darker metallic. You have to be very careful with rose quartz, though, because the color is quite delicate and using too dark a fiber can leach color from the stone and make it look like plain quartz. I have also used a white satin rayon with a rose quartz stone [link] ? which worked out very nicely.

That's always the way. I'm learning lace knitting right now....very frustrating.
