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.  

The Island and the Forest includes 12 knitwear patterns designed to be timeless and practical. “This book is our attempt at interpreting our surroundings: the landscape, its atmosphere and the weather, in the shape of stitches,” say Erika and Lotta. “Yarn and wool, the seasons and the elements; earth, water, fire and air. We have talked, written, met, knitted and sent photos, sketches, text messages, water colours and thoughts between us. It has been an incredible journey. We hope that the texts and garments will land softly with you and inspire you to knit, to reflect over and wonder at the places we live in; the island and the forest.”

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.

Fun and durable toy for dogs of all sizes
Size: 3 PCS
We have three dogs and one of their favorite kinds of toys is balls. These are the perfect size that all three of the dogs can play with them. We have size ranges from pug to Golden Retriever. Even the pug can carry one around. Mostly she just chases them across the floor. They are durable plastic that the dogs can chew on and so far have not punctured. They also haven't started to flake or splinter like some plastic will when it gets older. I like the bright colors because that makes it easier to find in the grass. They aren't extremely hard so if someone inadvertently gets hit with one it isn't terribly painful. They are a good weight to be able to throw repeatedly without getting a tired arm and yet they aren't lightweight so much that they don't go where you aim. When they get too dirty I just pop them in the dishwasher. I appreciate the value of getting three balls in one package.

Simple Dog Toys Done Well
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
Honestly, as far as simplicity goes, this is simplicity done right. Three simple decently sized toys in a nice bright package. They're the right size, they're the right texture, and they feel fairly well-made. They do still have that ugly little manufacturing seam running across them, so that's noticeable, but otherwise they're perfectly fine. No real issues. Nice texture, good variation of texture, and the colors are vibrant. Again, they're the right size. They're firm but not overly hard. Kind of almost like a baseball where there's a little bit of give to them, but not like they're made out of stone. So no major problems with this one. My dog has been having a fantastic time with them over the past few days.

Dog loves these.
Size: 3 PCS
The Velcro Pup (so named because she sticks to my side like Velcro) is a 32 pound Border Collie Mix with endless energy and boundless curiosity. She loves bright colors and ripping the stuffing out of all her stuffed toys and distributing it around the house. To combat that and to give her lots of playtime, I ordered these Rubber Balls. They are soft enough for her to carry around and just the right size for her to pick up and bring them to me to throw. There is a bit of texture on the Balls but it doesn't bother her the least bit. They do get slobbery after playtime but a quick rinse with water takes that right off. I do like the bright colors because the Balls are easy to see in the grass. I also use these to re-inforce training instead of food. Dog goes for it every time.

Not the best for big dogs
Size: 3 PCS
Very tiny balls, didn’t last long with my big dogs. They are very bouncy but overall don’t last long if you have a big chewer.

One Tough Ball!
Color: Blue
Our dogs are loving this ball. Our 1 yr old hound is a world-class chewer and he can't make a dent in this ball. The interactive buzzing and bouncing keeps them entertained for long durations. It's a mite noisy but the barking from the 1 yr old is much louder, lol. Even turned off, they like playing with it and chewing on it. Based on the tough construction, we think it will last much longer than traditional chew balls.
