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.

Comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Black/Ivory
Most comfortable and roomy shoes I ever wore. Great for insoles. Looks nice too. The base of the shoe is a bit too thick but it’s fine.

Mens Pirate Coat Steampunk Jacket Tailcoat
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This pirate‑style steampunk tailcoat is a fantastic piece if you’re looking for something dramatic and eye‑catching. The design has that perfect mix of Renaissance flair and steampunk attitude, with sharp lines, bold detailing, and a flattering cut that instantly elevates any costume. It feels well‑constructed for the price, with stitching that holds up and fabric that has enough weight to drape nicely without feeling stiff. The fit is surprisingly good — structured in the shoulders, tapered in the waist, and long enough in the back to give that classic tailcoat silhouette. Whether you’re using it for cosplay, themed parties, festivals, or stage performances, it adds a ton of character and presence. If you want a jacket that looks impressive, photographs beautifully, and brings a whole vibe to your outfit, this one is a great choice.

Hamilton costume coat!!
Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue
Not made very well, polyester build and not breathable, but it is a cheap, last-minute hamilton costume!! And was very successful to fit the role and looked pretty great- even kept us warm on halloween night and pockets to hold drinks!

Great fit & light weight
Size: Large, Color: Green, Size: Large, Color: Green
I was a little worried this wasn’t going to fit my husband. It looked huge. We ordered a size large, he’s typically a medium fit but he has a broad chest/ shoulders. I’m pleased to say that it was a great fit. I steamed it to release the wrinkles without any issues. Exactly as pictured, nice and light weight. Would definitely recommend.
