Observations: Knits and Essays from the Forest

$82.00

Observations: Knits and Essays from the Forest is a knitted walk through the forest and the seasons.

With a keen eye for the innate wonders of the natural world, Lotta H Löthgren combines knitwear designs with notes on the landscape she calls home: a small village in the southeast of Sweden, nestled among forests and lakes. There, she spends her days writing, knitting, designing knitwear and hand-dyeing yarn.

Observations includes nine knitwear patterns for long-lasting, wearable garments and accessories, along with essays about living a life close to nature. The patterns have been created in a quiet conversation with the land, drawing elements from the natural world and translating them into stitches and fabric.

“This book is the meeting between myself and my homeplace, seen from a very human perspective but told alongside the low hum of the soil,” Lotta says.

Löthgren is a knitwear designer, writer and yarn-dyer living with her husband, children, dogs and chickens in a small village in the southeast of Sweden, where she also runs her own yarn shop.

ABOUT SWISS BINDING

Swiss binding features an open, uncovered spine. The book is fixed to the back cover only, the front cover wrapping around the book. Not only does this elevate the look of the book and make it very special, it also is very user friendly as the book stays open easily. So this design choice is intentional, not a defect.
