Colorwork sock knitting pattern inspired by the cover of the novel of the same name. This haunting novel about star-crossed lovers inspired by Chinese mythology as well as Romeo and Juliet inspired the arrows, moon phases, and stars of this knitting pattern.

This pattern celebrates the mystery of all that is in between… the liminal space of being Asian American diaspora, or whatever cultural in between space you may be in, the and the liminal spaces of being between the start and end of each moon cycle. There is abundant joy to be had in those in between spaces… as we await what is next and grow more into ourselves.

“This is my story for the Asian Americans like me, growing up in places they never quite belonged, and discovering their personal magic in that solitude. ”
