The runner is 24" x 16" and not sure where it will be used. It is on 25ct evenweave and I used perle 8 & 12, green being my favourite colour I had to use some, it is a rather nice varigated green and I think it works well. Can see me starting another project with this technique before too long as I so enjoy doing it. Usually I just start in the middle and the design gradually emerges.
I bought a new hardanger book last month and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn this technique, it is by Frederique Marfaing and called Hardanger embroidery, to me this is one of the best instructions book I have amongst all my hardanger books and also has projects in it but there are hardanger cut out designs I have never come across before so will be trying some of those too

What a lovely table runner! The Hardanger embroidery techniqued originates from Norway, and my mother made quite a few of these.
The runner is gorgeous! I think the green part kind of lifts the entire design.Congratulations on the finish Margaret!
That runner is stunning. I tried a little bit of Hardanger at a taster session in a show, but I've only enough for a pin cushion (and a very small one at that).
This is an awesome runner and how wonderful and special it looks.
Thank you for the link, that´s what I really needed!!!

Beautiful. I have done a bit of hardanger and don't find it too difficult. That said, you do need good light, good eyes, and the ability to count accurately!
Congratulations! You finished it! It is beautiful. I wonder what you did in "the upper right edge" you were talking about in the post before this one.
It is so pretty!!
Lovely a real beautiful example of your talent.
Really wonderful, dear Margaret.
You made a great job.
It was right to finish the runner after this long time.

It's a gorgeous tablerunner. You're so good at hardangar! (It's on the bottom of my t0-do-list)
This is lovely, Margaret, and I agree the green in a great touch. Well done.
This is gorgeous Margaret
That's really lovely! Think indeed to have a go, thanks for the book suggestion. How annoying of blogger! Of course we never comment on our own blogs
It's lovely Margaret - a great finish!!!
Wonderful work! Congratulations on a beautiful finish.x
I take my hat off! You are so talented and make these beautiful Hardanger designs just by 'starting in the the middle'.
Your hardanger runner is wonderful!!!
I love your Hardanger runner. Congratulations on finishing it. It looks beautiful!
That is so pretty, well done
Fabulous runner Margaret, what a great talent you have.
The runner is gorgeous, Margaret! You do such beautiful work :-)
Brilliant work Margaret!
Well done, Margaret, it is beautiful! I haven't done any hardanger for a very long time, it is hard to know
What to do with it after.xx
Margaret, your hardanger runner ist so so beautiful,
it is almost like a sampler because you stitched a lot of different pattern. I have never tryed this sort of handcraft, I think it is very difficult, but I love how it looks ans I have some hardanger tablecloths from my mother here.
I wish you a merry Christmas!
Great work on the Hardanger! You must really have a thorough understanding of the technique, to able to stitch improvisationally like that. It would certainly be fun to see another!
Your runner is just stunning margaret have a merry christmas
What a lovely Hardanger runner, I'll have to dig out the one I started years ago, maybe I can find time to finish it someday...
Your hardanger runner looks fantastic Margaret!! Congratulations on a beautiful finish.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas. The hardanger runner is beautiful.
