Table runners

Nice, clean design. You have some draw in around the leno sections. Watch your selvages around those areas and you should be able to minimize that.

Thanks. I did notice the draw

Thanks. I did notice the draw in; it's actually Brooks Bouquet, and I was fussing around with the math in order to have the same amount of warp ends on both sides. I have concluded that it might be best to always weave with a number of warp ends that are divisible by 4....then, hemstitching and some of the other patterns will work out better without a lot of extra figuring! :) I think that I ended up using 5, then 3, 3, 3, 3,.........5 or something like that, so maybe 5 warp ends was a few too many and made it harder to avoid the draw in. Thanks for your comments!! :)
