My first adaptation

[Nilliem]

This is the Red Heart Diamond Trellis pattern off the skein wrapper. I just couldn't see wanting this as a whole afghan for us, so I just played with the math for a smaller version. I'm putting in a few pics for different angles.

This is just for a close view of the pattern.

These are the different yarns I used. The ribbon is Incredible by Lion in Copper Penny, the rust is by Caron in SS, I think its Autumn Red? The cotton thread is DMC in ecru.

 

 

This is the pot that made me want to get silk flowers, and when it coordinated with the runner...I was just giddy!

 

 

This is the fringe, about 6" long.

 

Ok, I guess I'm pretty happy with this one, hee.

That's very pretty and the colors are awesome. The flowers on top really complement it

[Nilliem]

Thank you! I'm making another for a friend's wedding present.

[champygirl]

Very nice.

Wow what a great idea to make it a table runner. You did a wonderful job.

[SHERYL]

Such a great color!!! Turned out lovely.

Great colors! Do you always blend so many types of yarn? do you ever have trouble working with it? I've never tried, but love the look you got! I may just have to give it a try.

[Qmare]

Sounds like you are hooked! Nice work. I love table runners and yours is really nice!

[Trinket]

I'm gonna be doing the Diamond Trellis pretty soon. I really like your adaptation of the pattern. It came out looking marvelous!

[Nilliem]

Thanks for all the compliments! It took me a while to adapt this, and it is nice that crochters like it. My family just gives me the 'look' when I ask, hehe.

 

Donna - I love working with multiple strands, now that I've done it a few times. I have such fun seeing what goes with what, and I'm a fan of unusual color combos. Its easy if you aren't working with a really bulky yarn; those three are about as thick as a really bulky wool. Just a slicker texture, heh.

I swear your picture looks like something from a magazine! The runner and flowers are so beautifully co-ordinated! You should be so proud!

[sanurasmom]

Looks great with the flowers. Great job!

[jess315]

[christinascrochethaven]

cool runner...way to go:manyheart

[Nilliem]

Thanks again everyone! Its so nice to know I can make (mostly) exactly what I want. Even with the really good yarn, its still a lot less, and precisely to my taste, hehe.

[laurah4200]

Very inventive! It goes really well with your decorating theme. Also the three yarns together and your other alternation make it a very unique piece. Good job!

[RunningMommy]

It looks wonderful! Great combo of yarns and colors

[lhasaapsolady]
