Coastal Stitches - Erika Åberg

A knitting trip to the islands of Scotland and Sweden.

" Coastal Stitches " is more than just a knitting book: it's a declaration of love for the landscapes of the lonely islands off the coasts of Sweden and Scotland. Designer Erika Åberg drew inspiration from these places to create 20 different knitting patterns. The result is four collections with distinct knitting patterns that reflect the respective landscapes, atmospheres, and handcrafting traditions. Each collection is introduced by a lovingly illustrated portrait of the region. Following the evocative introduction, Erika Åberg uses the knitting patterns to recreate the atmosphere and feeling she associates with each location.

About the author: Erika Åberg lives and works on the Swedish island of Gotland. She is a passionate knitter but also experiments with a wide variety of handcrafting techniques. She sews, dyes her own wool and fabrics, and enjoys embroidery. Erika teaches knitting classes, gives lectures, and regularly publishes new knitting patterns.
