Burgundy Table Runner

It drives me crazy how I can't get my photos to show the right colors.  While I have all the patience in the world weaving the pattern into the fabric, I have no patience when taking photos.  Anyway, the fabric is not purple but a lovely deep burgundy.  The yarns used are Caron's Simply Soft Party in Spring Sparkle and Black Sparkle.  The pattern used is Christine Allan's "Cotton Candy" but altered to suit my purpose.

I happen to love this particular table runner, maybe because it took forever to finish but also because of the colors...they really do look Christmas festive in real life!

I sell my pieces at relatively low prices at the one venue in December so I don't like to put as many hours into them as I did on this one.  This isn't an actual business for me but a way to continue having the pleasure of weaving while still making a bit of money.  I probably give away more items than I sell but that's okay with me.

I altered the pattern (which is beautiful in it's own right) by filling in the spaces.  I felt it needed to be fleshed out a bit and I like the way it turned out.

I have 2 more Christmas table runners all finished but the photos were absolutely horrible so I'll try again tomorrow when I might have more patience.  LOL!
