I love these colors together but they don't sell well. Regardless, if they don't sell, I can gift them.
This is sage green monk's cloth and the pattern is Christine Allan's "Fall Melody". I only used the border of the pattern, though. The yarn is Caron's Simply Soft in Pumpkin and Sunshine. Even if you know the project you're working on probably won't sell, it's still a joy to the eye when it's something you like personally.
I use a lot of Christine Allan's patterns because they appeal to me but I also have many others I use over and over also. It's fun for me to re-use a pattern and give it a new twist which makes it unique. I have created a few patterns of my own but I simply don't have the talent to create anything intricate the way Christine does.
Well, on to the next one!
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.
