Beautiful Table Runner

My mom recently finished this table runner as a wedding gift for someone she knows:



The pattern is from Jo Sharp's Knit Issue 2. It is simply called "Table Runner" but is very pretty. As you can see, it has deep red, gold, and bright orange in it. It also has some fun tassels to add even more interest. Maybe you can't quite see in this picture, but it also uses an interesting stitch to make it look woven. This is how it was done:

Row 1: *Pass right hand needle behind first st, K second st, then K first st in usual way; repeat from * to end.

Row 2: P1, *P the second st, P the first st; rep from * to last st, P1

Oh, and by the way, I've almost finished my bolero! Hopefully there will be a picture of the finished one up soon!
