I always use “Asanoha” when I teach Sashiko in our Sashiko Workshop (Core & Basic). Sashiko isn’t only about filling the patterns with stitching. The beautiful pattern with many stitches are just a result of Sashiko. In order to explain & share & teach Sashiko, Asano-ha is the best pattern because of several reasons. ☆
Atsushi’s Workshop is coming on this saturday, Feb 16th in Purl Soho NYC. It is the best way to learn the Sashiko “Running Stitch” and enjoy Sashiko stitching more. Check our video (in previous posts) what I mean by running stitch. I will teach you how to let the needle run with you.

ワークショップでお教えする時は、基本「麻の葉」を使います。主な理由は、(1) 直線が多いから運針を楽しみやすい (2) 効率がいい刺し順とそうでない刺し順を紹介しやすい (3) 重ねと重ねないという違いを説明しやすい (4) 刺し子は”好み”で、”正解があるわけではない”と説明しやすい、等。「刺し子を教える」って、案外簡単そうで難しかったりします。だからこそ、日々勉強だなと。ワークショップの前は、麻の葉愛が復活（増量）します（笑）
