The Island and the Forest (Erika Aberg and Lotta H. Lothgren)

The Island and the Forest: A Knitted Correspondence

by Erika Aberg and Lotta H. Lothgren

This gorgeous offering from Laine presents an exchange of letters and patterns between two Swedish designers: Erika Åberg, who lives on the island of Gotland, and Lotta H. Löthgren, who resides in the forests of the southeast. Working through the four elements—earth, water, fire, and air—the shifting seasons, and the natural world, Erika and Lotta reflect on the details of their lives and bigger questions of meaning, creativity, and belonging. Included in the The Island and the Forest are 12 timeless and wearable knitwear patterns, along with stunning photography and a meaningful and ongoing conversation between friends.

“The book you’re holding is our attempt at interpreting our surroundings: the landscape, its atmosphere and the weather, in the shape of stitches.”
