This cream runner was woven on my 16 inch Kromski Harp rigid heddle, and made to fit the hutch where I keep my weaving supplies and current yarns. I used a pickup stick for the floats and added boucle and some acrylic "roving" for extra texture. I am still finding it a challenge to keep both ends the same when creating a pattern at the ends of a runner or scarf. This time, I used a template and tried very hard to use the same "beat". I am also finding that it's very important to make good notes about the number of ends in each group of hemstitching, as well as which yarn was used! :) I do love the end result and will treasure it as one of my first "learning projects". :)
I think your beat and selvedges look terrific, especially for just your 5th project! I like the one color/two texture design.
Looks good! I use adding machine tape and mark out my pattern on it then keep it pinned to the right edge of my project about 1/2 to 1" from the selvedge. I make sure it is the weaving length including take-up and shrinkage and then write in the places and pattern changes before I begin weaving. I use it for making even stripes, too. Works quite well for me. Better than a tape measure.

Really like the design with the thicker weft.
