Work In Progress Wednesday.
Rescuing the Sweater
I have continued re-stitching/knit-stitching(?) the white yarn on the sweater. The front and back are now OK, but I found that the sleeves needed extensive work, too. As you can see the original white yarn wasn't placed inside the blue stitches.
That is why the entire restoration work is done over the blue areas to avoid future snags.
#286 Reversed Chain (variegated green and red) and #287 Reversed Chain Stitch with Buttonhole Edging (grey, turquoise and purple)
This piece of Aida has now been filled so I added binding to the edges and have prepared a new piece of Aida for the next sampler.
Sunday Stitch School Aida Sampler
This is the sampler I use to test the various Sunday Stitch School's new stitches on Aida. The square is now filled so I stitched on a binding around the edges.

You have stitched quite a lot this week. You have so many different stitches!
Excellent work with repairing your sweater! I see that the white thread was carried across the inside and that would easily snag buttons.
And the variegated threads and stitches are gorgeous.
Congratulations on filling your test sampler and finishing it!
That jumper will last much longer now!
So much beautiful stitching! What will you do with your sampler now that it has a binding?
Those samplers are impressive.
