Friday Homework for Lesson 333: Damask Darning Stitch

 This stitch is a real teaser! It looks so simple and straightforward, but unless you have a good and even grid, you are snared in a trap!

It was easy and enjoyable to do the Aida Sampler, but the Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart and Mottle Wool Scribble Cloth almost drove me crazy. Although I used waste canvas and a gridded tracing paper to stitch through,  the work was confusing and the result disappointing. Finally, I managed to get some decent freehand results on the Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth.

I will not use this stitch again unless it is on canvas or Aida.
