My father would tell me that when he sees the moon, he thought of me and wondered if I was looking at it too. He lost his sight a year ago and as an artist of 92 years, this was devastating. It was then I that would tell him when I saw the moon and what phase it was in. He would ask waxing or waning... He has been wanting himself over the last year and peacefully passed last week. I hope he knows that I'm still looking up at the heavens for him.

[@victorialove9104]

My condolences. I can tell he was greatly loved and your bond of love was powerful and beautiful. ❤

[@lesliemorin7170]

He knows you look for him. See his little signs to let you know he's there by your side as your newest guardian angel.

[@scotthunt7077]

I am so sorry for your loss!.Your father is looking over you now. It is very nice to have that kind of bond with your Dad with the moon. Every night must be very emotional ! I loss my father last year , it’s hard, but I know he is an a very good place. ❤️🙏

[@sheriecooper4260]

One lucky gal to have had such a father. Most of us gals are not so lucky.

[@janetchesal6964]

I live far from family but looking up at the moon reminds me that they are looking at the same moon. Knowing this keeps me connected and grounded, always.

[@maliciaphillips3690]

As a young girl living on the farm with my grandma, we used to sit on the porch, my head resting on her lap, listening to the cicadas, frogs, and coyotes, and watch the moon rise. We would play a game. What do you see in the moon. Those days are still vivid even though she's been gone many years.

[@charlottegalione628]

I love the description in the Bible where it calls the moon a "faithful witness" (Psalm 89, verse 37). It makes me think of all the incredible people through the millenniums that have looked up at the same moon that I'm looking at and been awed and inspired.

[@MaryHellmann]

As a young girl I delivered newspapers with my dad. It was usually still dark out when we made the deliveries. He told me ‘if we can see the moon it isn’t going to rain’. To this day when I see the moon, I think of my dad, our time together and his saying. Generally this saying has proven true. Thank you for helping me remember my dad at this moment. 💕

[@mamazuzu93]

For me, the moon has always held an almost spiritual significance to me. I'm a night owl and the moon has always been my constant companion on those long insomnia riddled nights.

[@arcelicollins3492]

I am a star gasser and love seeing the faces of the moon. It reminds me of how my life has light and sometimes slowly there's darkness creeping in, but I to remember that Jesus Christ is the light of the world and He lives inside of me!!🤗❤ The shawl looks so beautiful!! Love the colors!! Look so peaceful and restful!! I am glad it is crochet!!🤗❤❤ Thank for sharing!! God bless you all!!🤗❤❤❤

[@victorialove9104]

I was with my Maltese husband in Malta. It was hot and we decided to go for an evening swim. We had the whole beach to ourselves so we swam naked down a silver ribbon from the gorgeous full moon under a cloudless purple sky. Off in the distance we could softly hear a band playing "String of Pearls". Suddenly off to our right and some distance away there was a glorious display of fireworks the colors reflecting on us and the water. I will never forget this perfect night shared with the love of my life. In my mind I return to this memory whenever I feel the need to remind myself how beautiful life is. ❤ This shawl is so lovely. I adore the moon in all its phases.

[@margaretgrubb-eg7zl]

When I look and the moon it reminds me of all the wonders of God and the Universe He created

[@marieaube2987]

When my husband was alive we would go outside just about every night to look up at the sky. We enjoyed the moon and all the stars! I miss that time! I would love to make this shawl in his memory. Thank you lovely lady!!

[@joannmoorebreathtolifecoaching]

The moon has always been a symbol of mysticism, and yet calming and steady at the same time. I have enjoyed many, many evenings and nights quietly sitting, sometimes laying on the grass, staring at the moon absorbing the still serenity of the moment. Each memory is precious. It's a beautiful shawl! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely story 💖 Have a magical day!!

[@PickleBerryMiss]

In our family we always say " I love you to the moon and back" ❤

[@Crafty3627]

My favorite evening walks are when the moon is full and the white clouds are visible. It is so peaceful. My love for crochet started when I was 15. For the past 10 years, I’ve been able to crochet (and now knit) for my church group. We give out a wide range of items that can be knit and crochet. I find it very rewarding.

[@adriac21]

Love this beautiful shawl it looks like a half moon so beautiful….love seeing the moon when it looks so big and close to us and it’s like orange so relaxing and calming, peaceful.☺️

[@ardhanarisvara333]

As a pagan who honors the moon, I must say this shawl is gorgeous. I really want to make it to wear for my full moon rituals. To me, the moon is all about connecting with the Divine Feminine and one's powers of intuition. I read tarot and oracle cards that correspond to lunar magick and astrology.

[@lilashephard8225]

When I see the moon I look at it's different colors. I love it when it's so big it looks like you could touch it. But mainly I think of the moon as a sign to us as the book of Genesis says that the sun, the moon & the stars are a sign to us... intriguing how God speaks to us. Your shawl reminds me of the moon over rippling waters. The color transitions and the lacey drape are beautiful!

[@karenfed3694]

I learned how to crochet from my Grandma at the age of 5, who loved to crochet lace tablecloths and doilies. Watching her crochet was mesmerizing for me and I literally spent hours admiring her beautiful handiwork. Life happens, and now many years later, I cherish having the time to resume this most relaxing hobby.

[@donnabrady6594]

What a lovely pattern! One night when I was a young teen, I woke up in the middle of the night and was drawn to my window. I did not understand why. But when I went to the window, there was such a beautiful tableau of a full moon shining down on a lovely red rose that seemed to be reaching up toward my window from the rosebush planted there. It was breathtaking and felt it was a special gift to me! I'll never forget that night.

[@arasenela]

The night was perfect, with a soft breeze and a full moon illuminating the night sky. My dad and I sat on his houseboat off the coast, listening to the gentle rhythm of the water and feeling the rocking of the boat below us.

[@michellebruton6287]

"For the Sun loved the Moon soo much, he died for her each night, so that she could breath" That poem is as beautiful as the moon is to me. Every evening, weather permitting, I do a sunset and moon rise meditation outside in my garden, especially on a new moon night. Intentions and manifestations are put out into the universe on a new moon and they come into fruition on a full moon. I love this pattern so much that I rushed off to my sewing room and grabbed some speckly yarn from my bits n bobs, ordered the pattern and am now happily crocheting along with you, while I madly work on manifesting the beautiful yarn for this pattern. a perfect friday evening - Thank you sooo much for the free pattern 🥰

[@teaseatables]

I think my most memorable moment with the moon is this. When I was in high school, many moons ago. I was walking home from the train station( I grow up in nyc). I don’t remember why I was walking as I usually would have taken a bus the second half of my commute home. I was walking kind of mindlessly and to be honest I was a little turned around. I had moved into my grandmother’s house and so I was as familiar as I had imagined. As the sky darkened I was getting nervous that I truly was lost and I turned a corner. And the moon was all I could see. It was huge it felt like it was filling the whole sky the whole street. I remember feeling safe I just kept walking towards the moon and found my way out of the neighborhood I had wandered into and onto the main road. I got distracted in the moment of knowing where I was. But when I looked up the moon was higher in the sky and the time had passed but I always remember that little lost girl the moon guide home, and I am grateful

[@karenvollen4717]

When our kids were in high school life was so busy we often were not all at home until 9:00 or 10:00 at night. Often we would take nighttime walks to catch up. Full moons were our favorite time to walk. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and patterns.

[@renaweatherspoon6710]

Hi Chandi. This is over of the most beautiful shawls. Since I consider myself a fairly intermediate crocheter, I will definitely try this one and as usual your instructions are so easy to follow. Living in the rural South, USA, some 60 years ago, I happily remember when the night sky was clear and so open to allow moon and stargazing with the naked eye. It was always a treat to look up and locate the moon and to see the different shapes the moon took.

[@mercedesgonzalez3436]

Que belleza quiero hacerlo por favor,,,me encanta..❤😊❤❤

[@tammya1961]

As a young girl, I used to grab my ice skates and sneak off to the skate pond around the corner. I could skate for hours without anyone bothering me. It was just me and the moonlight. So peaceful and quiet. Then I would make my way back home and climb into bed and sleep. Best sleep ever and no one ever knew but me and the moon.

[@charlotteetienne1371]

Hi dear ! Another beautiful shawl ❤️ wow so pretty 😍 Have a sunny Friday 😘🌺🫶🏽

[@anamariafurtado7574]

Good morning, thank you for the beautiful inspirational soothing little talk you are amazing thank you again 🙏❤️

[@maeleetieman4403]

I work in healthcare so to me, the moon means craziness when it's full 😆 But that doesn't deter me from admiring its beauty.

[@Kayemwhy]

This is a beautiful shawl. Thank-you for sharing it. I have photos of the moon from a few years ago when it when it was closest to earth. It appeared to be larger than the houses in the photo.

[@mylindaclark6271]

Lovely pattern. The moon is always a special sight, I especially like seeing it on the coast when it is larger than usual!

[@1writermom]

When my husband and I were dating, we went camping at Clear Lake in California. It happened to be a full moon that night and it was bright as day at 2 am. We ended up going for a short walk in the middle of the night. It was gorgeous and amazing, and I've not experienced a full moon like that since. Thank you for another gorgeous, crochet shawl!

[@bonniedurie3050]

This shawl is beatiful!! When I look at the moon, I am always filled with awe at God's creation. I can imagine being curled up in the shawl and falling asleep while moon gazing.!

[@kathy9947]

Psalm 8:3-4. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that Yiu are mindful of him, and the son of man that you visit him?

I love see the moon through my windows in the early morning, I watch it grown and wane. It brings such comfort to me.

[@soniac.9162]

The moon symbolizes my Mom smiling at me 🌕

[@AussieMaillers]

As a teenager I had a friend who lived hours away from me......when we felt like we needed to be seen by someone who loved us we would look at the moon knowing the other one was doing it too with love in their hearts. It helped get me through a few tough times.

[@mercedesgonzalez3436]

Gracias gracias gracias ❤😊❤❤

[@autumnthestrange]

As a witch and devotee of a moon goddess , the moon is everything. I don't have one particular memory but just sitting outside, in the light of a full moon brings a level of peace and calm that I don't get anywhere else.

[@chantalvilleneuve7952]

Ce chale est magnifique 😍

My best friend is currently on Hospice end of life care, we have been friends for 16 years and her nickname when we lived together was Luna, This absolutely made my heart so happy. Cheers and much love, thank you for such a beautiful creation

[@SharJoyC]

What a beautiful pattern and yarns, absolutely delicious! My favorite moonscape is a full moon rising over our home … centered over the back door nestled between two beautiful palms. Such a peaceful image.

[@TheYarnGiraffe]

As you were talking about watching the moon, it reminded me deeply of the recent total eclipse. I live in the path of it and i got to walk outside and watch right from my front door! It makes me tear up thinking about it now, but as the moon eclipsed the sun, there was silence. I felt the powerful connection between me and the thousands of other people watching this same incredible thing!! That was the most powerful feeling of interconnectedness ive experienced. It brings me a mix of wonderful emotions everytime i think about it.. peace, hope, connection ❤

[@Impressionscrochet]

The moon is very important to me and my family. We lost two very close friends a few years ago during the Spring harvest new moon, so now during the spring harvest new moon every year we celebrate their life. Also in our spiritual practices, we follow, honor, and celebrate other moon phases and planetary alignments.

[@SimonkaTee]

I have many memories of looking at the moon with my late dad at our patio. We'd just enjoy the beauty of the night sky and talk about anything and everything.

[@susangetzschman4029]

It is beautiful. We had a cabin on a lake when growing up in Nebraska . We would sit on our dock, and watch the moon while listening to all the bullfrogs croaking. You could fall asleep just looking and listening. I miss those days

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing 💚

Hi Chandi. The shawl is gorgeous. I am a Cancer sign and we are ruled by the moon. I have always been fascinated by the moon and the sky and have spent numerous hours just sitting and watching the moon in various phases. It is always a calming and soothing place to be.

[@MargiesCraftyCorner]

I used to lay on the grass and stare into the sky! I was able to name all the constellations but my favorite was watching the moon!

[@ConnieWhite6798]

My favorite memory of the moon, is seeing it shine in my husbands (then just boyfriend) eyes for our first kiss. And thinking how I was so in love with him. And still am!!

[@DianaDLovesYarn]

When I was younger I loved going outside and laying on a blanket with my children and look at the moon and stars. There was several times that it was so relaxing that my children would fall asleep while talking about what they thought they would see in the moon.

[@crochetknittingaddictionws2580]

Hi Chandi, I remember sitting out by the lake with my dad watching the sky changing colors and seeing the moon and stars on a clear summer night. It was so cool, and listening to crickets.

[@ReginaK2]

The moon gives me so many memories from my life. Mostly of my late husband and I laying in the grass and watching the moon rise in the sky…

[@MadMimisCrochetandFarming]

My mom was never able to sleep during the full moon, I used to tease her that she was a werewolf.

[@lesliemorin7170]

Beautiful shawl, Chandi!! Thank you for the opportunity to win the yarn kit. ... I have many memories of the moon so it's difficult to pick just one memory to share. So I wrote this poem. The Moon constant, always changing. Life constant, to a point, always changing. The moon changing in slow phases, constantly beautiful. Life changing in slow phases, always beautiful. The Sun constant light, warmth, love, reflecting on the moon. Time constantly moving forward, changing light, constant love, shadows and light, reflecting light, slowly revealing. Patiently we wait, anticipating the moon's face reflecting light in full glory.

[@pattigolden1]

I grew up in a very small town, long before light pollution was a thing... I'd lay out on the picnic table in the back yard (mosquitoes be d****d in the summer!! 🤣😂) & stare at the Milky Way, even if the moon was out. It's not something you can do much anymore.

[@LizCanKnit]

I remember walking with my boys out in the garden, my youngest was a toddler. He was just learning to put together phrases and really express himself. He looked up at the full moon visible in the daylight and he shouted “Get down Moon!!” We all laughed hysterically and yell GET DOWN MOON! when the moon is full.

[@LizBeeee]

Hi Chandi...beautiful yarn and shawl!! Thank you. When I see the moon I'm reminded of how the ocean tides are directly affected by the moon phases. I also love REM's song, Man on the Moon🌗🌜🌛🌕🌖🌔🌚🌙

[@edithjaved1163]

I can't stop watching yourvideoz.....All your are beautiful and I wish I could knit and chrochet them all. Have a wonderful weekend ❤

[@michellebruton6287]

Soo ... I commented when you first posted this video - at the time, needing a short distraction from a stressful day, I grabbed some old yarn from my stash (Alula by Elle) intending to crochet along with you for a few minutes. Well, it was such an easy enjoyable pattern that I just never stopped crocheting 😁 I finished the shawl on the evening of the full moon - so she certainly deserves her name "Lune" 🌕. I am, however, still manifesting your beautiful yarn, and then I will make her again and gift Luna to my sister Dyane for her bday ... silly fact .. it took me 7 days to crochet Lune and the moon will be full 7 days after my beloved sisters birthday - Oh My Soul ...Its a sign 😂🤣😘

[@SorshaMyHeart]

What a wonderful pattern. I have to buy this pattern. I love the moon so much that my two books are named “The Blood Moon Sealed my Fate” and “Escape under A Waning Crescent Moon.”. I’m from the Appalachian Mountains and we believe the moon is very powerful.

[@Sarayscrochet_yarn_art]

Im from Spain and every 23th of June we celebrate Saint John's night. We set up bonfires, dance around them... There are different traditions; one of them is writing the bad things that happened the previous year in a piece of paper and burning it, another one is writing 3 wishes and burning the pieces of paper while go around the bonfire 3 times. Some people jump over the bonfire... If we celebrate on the beach we have to jump over 3 waves to get our wishes granted... I remember the smoke smell, the heat, the traditional music and folkloric dances... And the moon. That bright moon over the bonfires and the sea. That moon watching us celebrate, dance and swim... It's magical! Please, I'd love a short tutorial showing us how to wear and style the different kind of shawls. You look gorgeous wearing them.😊

[@mimikaolin3693]

I recently learned that because of the Moon influence , life managed to appear on Hearth and later on to maintain, thanks to it’s smoothening action on oceans tides.

The shawl is beautiful as your soul! You are an amazing person full of love , kindness and compassion. I don’t know what is wrong with me , I watch a lot of videos about knitting and crocheting and I don’t start doing it, I wish that we were closer so you can give me a push , I need it . Seeing a full moon make happy and nostalgic at the same time , remembering people but also thinking how amazing is God! I have to be grateful for what He gives me everyday and stop complaining. Thank you so much for making me feel with this video His great love. The yarns colors are beautiful I love them. ❤🙏Elena

The moon brings to mind the traditional lullaby for babies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6Opg4ltfdx4pqs Baby’s boat the silver moon floating through the sky sailing o’er the sea of sleep while the clouds roll by. Sail, baby, sail out upon the sea. Only don’t forget to sail home again to me. Baby’s fishing for a dream, fishing near and far. Her/His line a silver moonbeam is, her/his bait a silver star.

Buzz Aldrin's family (who's last name was Moon by the way) stayed with us during the moon landing as we lived 2 doors down from them in Clear Lake outside Houston in 1969. It was such a an exciting time for a 15 year old girl. We would look at the moon at night and realize that Americans we knew were heading that way and were soon going to make history. What a memory!

[@kathleenbollinger5990]

I have always loved looking at the moon, especially over the harbor near where I grew up. But one of my clearest memories from when I was little is being in my grandparents’ car at night (in my pj’s, of course😊), watching the moving shadow patterns inside the car, and seeing the moon, in every phase, following us home. This shawl is so pretty, and I love the yarn colors! Hope I win.

[@lindalewis9829]

Gorgeous shawl and my absolute favorite yarn base! 🧶💗🥰 The MOON reminds me of a wonderful childhood spent outside with all my siblings lying on the grass and staring above at the moon while telling stories.....great times! 💕

[@delladearest2511]

When I was a child, I had insomnia and would stare out the window watching the moon and stars and how the moon changed its shape and became whole again. In time, I began to wonder about the universe, the sun, the planets and creation so then I kept wondering about God, who he is, why of everything and of humans and why am I here? Somehow I thought of the Bible and that’s where the answers are but I didn’t get one until I became a teenager. I tried reading it myself but I needed help, like the ancient Beroeans (Acts 17:11) so i studied the Bible with someone and what an eye opener plus it was life changing for me. It’s been 50 years and it was the best decision I ever made ❣️ Chandi , this shawl is gorgeous and I ❤❤❤ the colors, my favorite 😍 Thank you and enjoy your weekend 🤩🤩🤩

[@kelleysanger755]

I was a pattern tester for this shawl and absolutely LOVE it. It’s so fabulous, so beautiful and simple. I absolutely LOVE the moon, we go out at dark every night to lock up the chickens and feed the horses. Seeing the horses in the moonlight is so magical. I finally got some tweed and plan on using it for this shawl, the 2 I did for testing I did with sock and restore fingering. ❤

[@KathleenCohen-sj3op]

I have fond memories of sitting on my grandparents' front porch, enjoying the summer night's breeze. Growing up in the city, I loved spending summers in the country with my grandparents. My Nana would tell me to look at the moon and she would state what the next day's weather would be based on the colors surrounding the night moon. However, autumn is my favorite season, so I love the harvest moon -- orange-yellow, lying low and heavy in the night sky.

[@RosesCraftyStuff]

I love watching the moon. It gives me such solace, I laughed when you said to put on some soothing music of birds. As I live in the country I only need to step out on my back porch to hear the birds, watch the rabbits, squirrels, wild turkeys & deer grazing in the field behind my home. Such a peaceful and relaxing place. I often take my crochet projects out and enjoy my tea or coffee. This shawl is gorgeous and I am sure I will love it. ❤

[@tammystuart8224]

This shawl is very breathtaking and amazing! The moon is a spectacular sight that I love to look at every night when possible. I love how there are so many phases and names that the moon has throughout the months, years, decades, etc. Growing up I always heard the phrase “once in a blue moon.” Of course, as a child, I figured that there was no such thing. However, there actually is a such thing as a “Blue Moon.” Interesting huh!?

[@Zylophila]

What a brilliant shawl! I'm glad it's not a sweater, my niece is coming up tomorrow to pick a sweater and yarn off of your site and it will be my 4th sweater of the year. I'm can't wait to make the Mou Leipeis!!! This shawl will have to wait. That tweed yarn is irresistible! The moon reminds me to wax, to wane, I can renew, and to be whole. I look at the moon as I can look at my life and see how I can improve, be a better person, more caring, loving, and compassionate person. Thank you again for sharing your beauty! Love and hugs!!!

My favorite moon is the Harvest Moon, it is usually huge and breathtaking. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

I remember my first lunar eclipse when I was about 7 or 8. My dad and I could watch it from an upstairs window. The familiar bright light in the sky slowly became covered in an amazing dark orange-red blanket. And just as slowly, it turned back into the bright light in the sky we were used to. It was so magical that even decades later, I can still see that darkened orb through the window in my mind's eye.

[@Sar10Isr]

Beautiful shawl. Thank you Chandi for sharing it with us. My strongest memory of the moon is watching astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in their moon walk. As a child it gave me the feeling I can do anything. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Being born under the sign of the sign of the moon, astrologically speaking, I’ve always been drawn to the moon!

The yarn is gorgeous!

[@lynndeebeller9438]

Many years ago on a full moon, I was soaking (skinny dipping )in a hot springs. I pulled myself out to sit on the side of the pool and the man next to me said “darling, you shine like a pearl”. I thought to myself, I can do that. That is still (30 years later) one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received.

[@nanowens6082]

I remember a clear moonlit night, the first year of my marriage. We were doing a night parachute jump, and one of my parachute cords got looped over the canopy - known as a Mae West. I had to deploy the reserve chute, which I did badly, but finally got it inflated. I was very grateful for that full moon, that made it possible to see what I was doing and where I was going. Not a very romantic memory, but a memorable one. Thank you for another beautiful pattern!

[@lovehair7]

Totally off topic, Chandi you did a great job on your dress. It is beautiful and flattering! I love the colors. What I like about the moon is how it changes appearance. Orange, blue, cressant , half, full, close, or far away. It keeps me tuned in every night to see what mood It is in.

[@gadgetgirl5399]

I've always loved the sunset, dusk and the night. A big part of that is that I find it to be incredibly peaceful and the 'star' of the night is truly the Moon- no matter the phase, it's always a beautiful companion. Love the pattern, I've downloaded it and the yarn is stunning. Thank you for another wonderful video and message. Have a great weekend!

[@jessicajohnson-nj7sp]

Love moons. I have a few blue moons tattooed on me... All cuz ppl would say once in a blue moon well now it's always a blue moon with me 😂 now that I'm older it's kicking me 😂. That just gave me an idea I might have to do it blue for a blue moon. I love ur patterns. Never tried ur yarn. Maybe once the kids get outta school.

[@Lamara5292]

Well, seeing i am working on my first crochet shawl after seeing this, makes me look forward to making something more intricate for my next project. It’s beautiful! I am an Aquarian, so me and the moon are very much in toon with each other. A full moon brings me peace and calmness. It’s the light in the darkness.

[@naomiamezquita631]

I always love looking up the moon and marveling and how bright it actually is. Very interesting the name of this beautiful shawl Lune. Also , when I see the full moon I start to wonder if my students are going to act a little crazy the next day. Lol. After all Lune is short for lunatic. Just kidding. Seriously, I absolutely adore this shawl and will definitely make this one. 😀

Seriously, I absolutely adore this shawl and will definitely make this one. 😀

I remember going shepherding with my Uncle Bill and Aunt Minnie. Sitting around the campfire looking at the stars and beautiful moon. Great memories.

When we were young my 3 friends became the sisters of the moon Big Stevie Nicks fans. Shawls remind me of Stevie .. 45 years of friendship based on the moon..

Good morning🥰 Even as a child I would sit outside for hours just looking up at the sky watching the moon. There was something so magical and comforting. About the moon and its phases. I love the beautiful shawl it is a wonderful reminder of the moon’s tenderness💕

Oh that's gorgeous and I love the stay on your shoulders part so much. I've loved to look at the moon all my life. It was the thing my children and grandchildren first got excited about in the sky from the youngest ages. We still look for it always and if we aren't together, we call each other and ask, "Did you see the moon"?!

When my adult children first left the house, one was serving in Afghanistan/ Marines, his twin sister moved to LA to start school. It was difficult having them so far away. I would have curtains open with the full moon shining down. At this time was when I would cry and ask the Lady/Moon that they'd be watched over and come home safely.

All my life I have been a big science fiction fan. Many stories and movies I've loved have had "Moon bases" where humans migrated to and lived. That concept has always fascinated me. So when I see a full moon, I'm also looking at a childhood dream of going there one day. I think, if I make this shawl, I'll have to find a liitle rocket ship pin to add to it. =)

Such a beautiful pattern in lovely muted colours. Earth colours are definitely for me. Down here in Tasmania the air is cleaner and clearer than almost anywhere else in the world. This makes viewing of the moon, especially when full, a wonderful experience. On a cold, crisp night in winter there is nothing better than wrapping yourself in something warm and snuggly, sitting outside and watching the moon rise. Glorious.

Drove up a hill one evening in southern California and met up with a rising moon still low on the horizon. It appeared disproportionately gigantic and I had to do a double-take and try not to drive off the road. This was in the days before the internet, so I had no idea what I'd just experienced, but it took my breath away. I've had many incredible encounters with the moon since then, but that's the craziest for sure. It wasn't until years later that I learned about the "moon illusion." It blew my mind.

I stepped out onto Geary Blvd. here in SF, one evening when there was a Supermoon. Geary has three lanes of traffic in each direction, plus parking on both sides, and a wide meridian strip, so basically nine lanes plus the sidewalks. Yet the rising moon appeared to be wider than the street, partially hidden behind buildings on both sides! It was enough to stop me in my tracks, and held me spellbound for several minutes. Unfortunately, it was before phones came with a camera. The dramatic size of this shawl fits so well with that memory.

My moon moment would be on Nantasket Beach in Massachusetts right after a storm. Oh, and your dress ..that dress,that dress….. you could completely do a yarn color way off that dress ❤❤❤❤❤

When I think of the moon I think of our Hawaii visits. The Moonlite beaches, the calm sounds of the waves splashing into the shoreline and the gorgeous air of plumeria excites the senses! I too think of all the people who view that same moon as well! Just love the calming music you play in the background of your videos!

When I was in college, my room's window opened to the roof of the first-floor living room. During summer nights, when the moon is bright, I sit on the roof, sometimes with snacks and look up to the moon or the tall buildings in the business district, just thinking of random things. I missed that time of my life, my youth, my only problems being exams. 😅

When I was 7, my family was camping in Canada. My parents said that we would go to bed when the moon went down. It was summer. It turns out that we were up til almost 11:30. A fellow camper stopped by to talk and mentioned the time. My siblings and I were in bed within 15 minutes. 😂 We still talk about this at family gatherings.

The moon brings me joy. As a kid, some of the best times was playing kick the bucket at night 😊. My mother told me a story of when she was a kid. She said every Sunday evening her and her siblings would visit their grandparents. The grandparents told them to bring their toothbrushes. After dark, they all gathered around a bonfire holding their toothbrushes because the grandparents told them that if they tossed their toothbrush in the fire, it would shoot them to the moon 😂. My mom said she remembered being terrified but excited because they wanted to go but wasn’t sure how they would get home. 😅

Hi Chandi. Very pretty pattern. I love the shape and the post stitches. I have a beautiful memory of the moon that holds a special place in my heart. I was in Hawaii with my family as a teenager. I believe we were on Kauai. Outside of our hotel room there was a beautiful cove with trees hanging over the water. One night I walked down and the moon was high in the sky on the right side glistening shimmering light over the water with the palm trees hanging over as well. It was a spectacular and moving sight, one which I will never forget. I was awestruck. I also love the way that the moon controls the ocean tides. Magnificent! Thanks for this lovely new pattern. Have a lovely weekend. ❤❤.

When I was little, 6 to 8 years old, my bedroom window faced the backyard and I had the view of the base airstrip beacon. It was always there as I looked out. I remember being mesmerized when the moon was also appearing. Wow, hadn't thought about that in a very long time
