here's the Georgetown table runner from Yarnplay on my livingroom table. when i moved across the country a couple of years ago the only furniture that i brought with me was a circa 1933 porcelain topped kitchen table and 2 chairs. hence, i needed a lot of furniture when i moved into this apartment. my mother had this glass table top (with a hideous wicker bottom) in her garage. i loathe wicker furniture, so there was no way i was taking the bottom, but i knew i could be creative with the top. another thing that made the move was my extensive collection of i-D magazines. having no place to store them and having a table top that needed something to support it, i stacked the magazines and put the glass on top of it. voila! instant livingroom table. Georgetown was designed with a rectangular table in mind. on my white porcelain table it lacked contrast. (it would probably look best against wood.) however, i think it looks cool here!
Hi - love your finished georgetown runner. Am wondering, did you make it to the size in the book and if so, did you have any leftover of any of the colors? I would want it to be wider and am wondering how much of which colors I would need if I increased the width to 12 inches and decreased the length a bit to 60 inches. Is the 64 inch length mentioned in the pattern just the length of the knitted piece and then fringe is extra or does that include the fringe? Great Job!
