PUBLISHED BY LAINE MAGAZINE

Description from the publisher:

The Island and the Forest: A Knitted Correspondence is an exchange of letters and knitwear patterns between two Swedish designers: Erika Åberg and Lotta H. Löthgren. The collection includes 12 patterns designed to be timeless and practical. The chapters in the book flow through the four elements and the shifting seasons. In their letters, Erika and Lotta reflect on both the little things in their life and the big questions

The Island and the Forest includes 12 knitwear patterns designed to be timeless and practical. “The book you’re holding is our attempt at interpreting our surroundings: the landscape, its atmosphere and the weather, in the shape of stitches,” say Erika and Lotta.  

The Island and the Forest: A Knitted Correspondence is an exchange of letters and knitwear patterns between two Swedish designers: Erika Åberg on the island of Gotland and Lotta H. Löthgren in the forest in the southeast. The chapters in the book flow through the four elements — earth, water, fire and air — the shifting seasons and the natural world. In their letters, Erika and Lotta reflect on the little things in their life and how they draw out the big questions: meaning, creativity and belonging.

Erika Åberg is a knitwear designer and writer living with her family and dog on Gotland, an island off the east coast of Sweden. Erika is deeply rooted in Scandinavian craft and her designs are based on the love of nature, wool and island life. She leads wool and walking tours to destinations such as Gotland, Shetland and Iceland. The Island and the Forest is her eleventh book. 

Lotta H. Löthgren is a knitwear designer, writer and yarn-dyer living with her family, dogs and chickens in a village in southeast Sweden, where she also has a yarn shop. As a designer, she loves to translate the natural world into wearable garments. Lotta’s first book, Observations: Knits and Essays from the Forest, was published by Laine Publishing in 2023. 222 pages

12 patterns: 3 sweaters, 2 vests, 1 cardigan, 1 shawl, 1 hat, 1 pair of fingerless mitts, 1 cowl, 1 pair of socks and 1 pair of mittens.

Have size 4 🙌🏻 qreat quality, comfy, cute
Size: 4 Toddler, Color: Brown, Size: 4 Toddler, Color: Brown
Durabilty 💯 survived a beach trip on a 2 year olds feet and still look brand new! Guessing they are comfy, because she never acted or said otherwise. Definitely worth what we paid. Super cute, good quality, but could still spray out sand with no issues and let her run around and do all the toddler things. The brown is the perfect brown, it changes shades in different lighting and is not too light or dark. Good, cute and comfy sandal! Our girl has eczema and this material rubbing on her ankles didn't bother her as much as some sandals, so, tolerable on sensitive skin 👍🏻 also, the straps were a perfect angle and length for her petite ankle, other brands have to bend and rub her ankle. Lastly, the size seems true to normal toddler shoe sizes. They fit very similar to other of her sandals in the same size. Which reminds me, grateful to find a size 4 for our small feet girly 🙌🏻 not many options.
