Moonrise: a needlework chart for any craft

The random number generator picked Moonrise from the suggestions for this post, suggested by Valerie, one of my Patreon supporters. I think this one would make great stranded mittens, what do you think? Or a hat. Pale grey yarn with a dark blue background, perhaps. I wonder what’s in my stash.

I usually develop a complicated knitting stitch pattern for each word, but I also like to provide a basic chart for any craft that’s worked on a grid: beads, cross stitch, whatever. I also try to provide at least some digital art of the pattern repeated all over. It doesn’t necessarily look like a finished object for any particular craft, but I just want to give a sense of it in use. (I try to make it look like knitting when it’s got floats short enough for easy stranded knitting.)
