liadethorneggeWow. OMG! And other such exclamations of glee.
I have just finished the embroidery, entirely, on the black and silver coif set. The forehead cloth has been finished a while now, but the coif has been lagging behind. I set my mind on finishing it before Double Wars, which starts on Friday - in five days - and I achieved it!
I was on the phone with my laurel while I worked the last coil in ceylon stitch, counting down the last three stitches. And when it was all finally done, I cut off the thread end, I took it outside, and I photographed it, then I sent a text to Filippa (whose coif it is going to be) and then I ran outside, with both hands in the air for a Victory Lap around the house. Yes, I literally went outside, ran around the house, with my arms to the sky with a great big grin on my face.
This is an amazing feeling! And now I will make it up into a wearable coif and it will be FABULOUS! It already is. I am so very very pleased.

Date: 2011-05-23 08:17 pm (UTC)Today I've been working on doing the last bits. Forgot I had to do embroidery around the hems. Did that after hemming, and continuing with the loops at the lower edge for the drawstring. Tomorrow, that might all be done, at which point there will be another victory lap, bet on it! :):)
