I finished this table runner. I actually started it a couple years ago and let it sit. I wasn't sure how it would finish, being this odd shape, but I decided to just go for it, and it turned out fine.
This is a prayer shawl that I hurried up and finished today. Our church participates in an active prayer shawl ministry, and they have completely run out of their supply. I finished this but sort of wish I had kept knitting, to make the shawl a tad larger. But, they put out a plea for shawls, so I finished it quickly. Maybe it will go to someone smaller than I am (most people ARE smaller than I am) and then it will fit better. I should start right in on another one.. maybe the "traditional" pattern this time. You know what pattern I used for this blue one? I made that dish cloth pattern that is knitted on the slant.. so this is a very large, half dish cloth that a person can wear. I hope wearing this doesn't make the recipient feel like a dish rag. haha! (Carol, please be serious. ... oh, OK, I apologize for my flippant attitude.) Health, happiness and warmth to the person who receives this shawl! (That's better.)

I love the table runner and I don't think it's an odd shape. It adds interest and you planned the squares so well. I like the prayer shawl, too. Beautiful knittin.
The table runner is so nice! I like the checkerboard and the on point setting. Maybe you'll get back to Bizarre sewing soon :) The shawl looks warm and cozy. I'm sure someone will love to wrap up in it. There are lots more short ladies around than we taller gals!
Of course I am a guy and have no conception of what you are talking about here, but I did like that fancy red stitch in photo 3. Nice!
