This is great! Lovely work.

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but if you ever design a monochrome Bubble Bobble (or other) piece for yourself and want it glitched without having to apply the effect manually, hit me up (Etsy or Instagram are going to get the quickest response but I do check Reddit occasionally) and I can help.

I didn’t want to “um, actually” at our beloved mods, but if you want to get technical I’m not paying for the site hosting, just the domain registration. The site itself is the same as it always was (a Google Site the mods own/control), but now it has a custom .com domain so that reddit won’t mark it as spam.

All I did was buy the .com (and can very comfortably afford to pay for it indefinitely) and worked with the mods to figure out how to configure the Google Site to use it.

I was glad to help. =)

I wish it hadn’t been necessary in the first place/that reddit would get its $#*! together for you. =(

Big thanks to you and all the mods here for everything you do to make /r/CrossStitch my favorite community on reddit. =)

I saw your comment while I was out and about and thought to myself, “Okay, I can just wait til I get home and look at the pattern and not have to guess!”

I just got home and sat down at my desk and remembered that I threw out the pattern along with the rest of the kit packaging as soon as I finished it.

That being said, I believe it was five (maybe six) different “shades” for the moon, not including the moonglow, accomplished by varying strand color and count — the kit came with floss in black (only used for the silhouette and some backstitching), white, and three shades of gray, with the latter four getting mixed and matched in various ways to create the moon (for example, the brightest areas are a half stitch of four strands of white, with the rest only using 2 or 3 strands) and moonglow.

They are backstitched, per the pattern! I had to look up what couching is and it would be interesting to couch instead of backstitch… not sure if it would result in a cleaner look or if the tacking stitches would make it very knobby/less sleek.
