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.

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.

Holds up to chewing, but squeaker didn't last.
Pattern Name: Pumpkin, Size: Large
This pumpkin dog toy for aggressive chewers has held up to the chewing, but the squeaker, which they boasted as indestructible didn't hold up. It lasted maybe 12 hours and now it no longer squeaks which takes away a lot of the fun for my dog.

Bully breed has not destroyed the toy yet
Pattern Name: Apple, Size: Large
Ordered this toy for my Doberman and beagle who destroy every toy they are ever given. The green rope on top of the apple toy lasted for about 24 hours, and the squeaker inside the toy lasted for about 3 days. But the overall body of the toy is still in tact and it has been over a month now. The dogs still play with it despite the squeaker not working. The body of the toy is definitely durable if you have a bully breed. Both my dogs really enjoy it. Edit: 7 months later and this thing is still going strong. My doby loves it. It is tough as nails. Changed review to 5 stars.
