2 Variations of Same Pattern

Forgive the wrinkles..I didn't think they were so obvious until I took the pictures.  These are two table runners using Christine Allan's pattern, "River Rocks".  I used only part of the pattern on each of the runners, but more on one of them.  

The navy monk's cloth was done with Caron's Simply Soft Party yarn in Silver Sparkle.  I have this yarn in quite a few colors and love to use it for Christmas runners because of the metallic thread that runs through it.

The beige runner is done in Caron's Simply Soft Party yarn in Spring Sparkle.

These yarns tend to unravel unless you knot each end of them before weaving.  I put my needle right up against the knot as I'm pulling it through the fabric and have little to no problem with it sliding through easily.

As much as I love the look of any weaving done on dark fabric, this was very difficult for my eyes and that's why I limited the amount of work done on the navy piece.
