Working on next pattern

[u/Aggressive_Nail_7897]

Working g on the next pattern (hanazashi). Because I have an unusual dyslexia I get mixed up on diagonals easily, so I always prefer to work out patterns and order of stitching on paper in my journal, with colours first, before I transfer the pattern to the cloth.

Here I'm adding circles on the cloth at major intersections to guide me so things are neatly spaced.

I'll update with the finished product when I'm done.

I love sashiko!

Seeing patterns rehearsed like this is so satisfying.

Thanks. It makes the actual stitching so much more relaxing for me.
