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.

The size range for the garments is approx. 29" to 61" / 75 to 155 cm chest measurements.

Great quality, Highly Impressed!
Size: 12, Color: Light Brown
These are of great quality and surprisingly comfortable. This is my first pair of HEYDUDE. I am really impressed! They are true to size. They fit my wide feet without any issues and they are my new absolute favorites! Super lightweight, extra stylish with the platform lift, and completely worth it. The color matches the photos.

Slip on shoe love
Size: 9, Color: Black/Black, Size: 9, Color: Black/Black
These are a more narrow fit so if you are a wide fit girlie or you don’t like tight fitting shoes you might want to try to size up or try to find something that has a wide version. But I love them super cute and absolutely great quality..skip on and slip off love it!!! I will be looking into a different color,I got black for work ..but they are comfortable . Update-after wearing the black suede for a few days I purchased the brown suede as well.... And I can say they do loosen up a little still a a narrow fit but not right feeling.

Walking on clouds…
Size: 6, Color: Blush, Size: 6, Color: Blush
The most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Usually I wear size 6,5 -7. I followed recommendations and order size 6. It was a perfect fit. It was ideal for my problematic wide feet. The shoes are light weight and well made. They look great and feel as cozy as slippers. Absolutely love them and strongly recommend to go size down as I did.

Comfort and fashion collide
Size: 7, Color: Brown Leopard
These platform mules meet the following three criteria points: fashionable, comfortable, and affordable. I wear them all day thanks to the great arch support. In fact, I have three pairs in multiple colors. I normally wear a 7.5 but sized down to 7 after trying a 7 and 8.

Nice looking, quality is iffy 🤷🏻‍♀️
Size: 7, Color: Black Leather
Love the look of these, nice and comfortable, or so I thought. I wore them for the first time yesterday and they rubbed the top of my foot. I hate that they are lined in a fabric that causes friction. I kept them because I loved the look of them, but, in all honesty I think they are expensive for the quality. My right shoe has scrub marks on the leather :-(
