In Yesterday’s Reel, I mentioned about “How Easy it is to prepare the grid on fabric when the fabric is relatively small”. I hope you had a chance to register to receive this new series – “My Common Knowledge may be someone’s miracle solution”. I had sent the link to those who signed up yesterday. I hope it was something helpful.

Well, since I almost “declare” that it is “Easy” to do so, I decided to double check if it is that easy. Yes, it can be done in 5 min or so when the fabric is small. Even for this size, it doesn’t take much time, and you don’t need to spend any dime if you have a pen (a pencil), ruler, and a printer. This information will be part of the new “Online Class” I am working on as a supplemental class to the main one “Core & Essence”. For now, I offer the information for free to see how “uncommon” or “common” it is for many people.

When I prepare the Grid, of course I gotta stitch. I do not usually do Hitomezashi since it requires a bit of “concentration” – I enjoyed it for this much, yet I prefer my ordinary running stitch. I mean, I need to “concentrate” to stith in Hitomezashi, and I am not used to doing so – as you know that I mainly focus on talking while I do a Sashiko Stitching Live Streaming. Anyhow, it isn’t difficult AT ALL. This is called “Wisdom (that I have received from seniors as a normal thing”, right?

珍しい写真かもしれません。昨日、英語で「小さい方眼って簡単に書けますよ」っていうリールを作りました。簡単って言う以上、どれくらい簡単か時間的に調べておかないとなぁと自分でもやってみたのですが、本当に小さいものだと5分とかからない。少し大きめのをやってみても、そんなに時間はかからない。ふむ。

方眼を書くとやってみたくなるのが一目刺しで、実際に軽く刺し子をしてみました。やっぱり……苦手です。楽しいのは楽しいのですが、なんか気を張ってしまうというか、緊張するというか（笑）それでも100メートルの麻の葉柄からは良い気分転換になったので、少し一目刺しも続けてみようと思います。こうやって寄り道ばっかりしてるから、本筋の作品が終わらないんですよねぇ。刺し子に集中するのには一目刺しは最適ですね。いかに普段、集中せずに刺し子をしているかが良くわかった土曜日でした。
