The not quite so mad project is an Elizabethan blackwork coif. Silk on linen, using the grape and flower and knotwork design from the Jane Bostocke sampler (another sampler image here.

( Progress so far and links to finished leg binding weaving (and 3 pictures) )

Current Mood: restless
Current Music: Queen binge

Leg binding shrinks to 197 1/2 inches once the weights are off, but folded in half, does appread to wrap around my legs enough to work as leg binding.

Next test: hot wash...

Edit: blackworked chemise progress (after quite a break)
Need 40 inches of neckline blackwork. Current length count is 27 inches (1 piece) and ~2 inches second section. Want to work more on it, but will need to work on in very small doses.

But now I remember the other embroidery hoop... And have a mad desire to poke at this.. and maybe trying the plait stitch again...
