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

Quite surprised! (positively)
I decided to give it a try after I saw it in a few videos on social media. Those masks really moisturise your face skin like nothing before, at least in my case. It does take few hours, but it’s definitely worth it. I personally tried it during the day, and took it off after 3.5h but my husband tried to sleep in it - ended up getting up at night to take it off so maybe sleep time is not the best :P Regardless - I think it’s working really well, and it’s also fitting nicely without “moving” so it’s comfortable to use it any time you’re doing something at home.

My skin was glowing.
When I first opened the mask it was so slimmy, I couldn't get it opened. But the essence soaked right into my skin after a bit and my skin felt soft and shiny. I felt so excited to put it on and try it out. The mask was worn overnight and it was able to stay on my face all night without falling off. So, the mask was very durable and an ease to take off. The moment you take off your mask is like the moment were a frog who turned into a PRINCESS. Okay, I'm exaggerating just a bit. But, not really. You're skin really glows and is shiny. You can put moisturizer on if you want, but I only recommend sunblock. You'll look stunning! Now, go and "shine bright like a diamond!"-Rhianna (Sorry, I just had to.)

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.
