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.

The size range for the garments is approx. 29" to 61" / 75 to 155 cm chest measurements.

Hardcover  with a specific binding style called Swiss binding. This allows the book to open completely flat and stay open easily while in use.

very good price

I needed to replace the wiper blades on my Jeep Wrangler JK, so I first went to a local auto parts store. The prices were pretty expensive, and they didn’t even have the correct replacement for my rear wiper blade. That’s when I decided to order the UTOBOO 15"+15" Windshield Wipers with 13 Inch Rear Wiper Blade Replacement online, and I’m really glad I did. The set arrived quickly and included everything I needed for both the front and rear wipers. Installation was very easy and only took a few minutes. They fit well on my Jeep, and the blades feel sturdy and made from good-quality materials. After using them, they wipe smoothly and leave the windshield clean without streaks, which is exactly what you want, especially in rain or dusty conditions. Overall, this is a great value compared to buying individual blades in-store, and it’s especially convenient since it includes the rear wiper replacement too. I would definitely recommend these to other Jeep Wrangler owners looking for an affordable and reliable option. ------Tip, don't forget to take off the green plastic, If you check the comments many people argues that the wipers don't work but in the pictures you can see they did not take off the green plastic protector. ----

Easy to install and works great!
Size: 26"+16"+12"
This was probably the easiest set of windshield wipers I've ever installed. It came out of the box with the correct locking hardware pre-installed for my car which made installation quick and easy. They felt solid in the hand, as if they're going to hold up over time and through the seasons, and looks to be made of comparable materials to OEM parts. Once installed, the blades worked exactly as expected. They're not slow or wobbly, and I no longer have any streaks on my front windshield. Great kit, 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Just make sure you're choosing the correct one for your make and model!

Great performance and very easy to install.

I own a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek that I recently purchased. I joined a social media group that is geared to Crosstrek owners to learn more about this model. I have read quite a few posts on replacing your wiper blades. Many owners reported that you had to use OEM blades from the dealer. Others reported that you could use aftermarket, but needed adapters. Finally, some people stated they just went to Amazon and ordered blades that fit perfectly. I chose the Amazon route...and am pleased that I did! I found these blades that stated they fit the Crosstrek. The price was decent, and the reviews were positive, so I ordered a set. They arrived very quickly and were well packed so that there were no damages. The set is three blades: the two front and one rear wiper. The quality appeared to be great, with solid frames and heavy rubber blades. Changing out the front wipers couldn't have been easier! You simply push a button on the blades and they slide right off the wiper arms, then the new blades slides on and snaps into place. I believe it literally took less than two minutes to change out both blades! The rear was slightly more difficult. You position the old blade perpendicular to the arm and it pops off, then you slip the new blade on and snap it onto the arm. NO ADAPTERS WERE REQUIRED! Front and rear blades attached perfectly out of the box! The performance is great as well. We recently had almost three days of steady rain (a very welcome storm for our drought-ridden Colorado!), and they kept up with the rain streak free! I've only had them on for a month or so, so I can't comment on their long-term durability, but the rubber is holding up very well so far. I'm not sure if they have these for all makes and models of vehicles, but if they do have yours, I would definitely recommend these for your vehicles!

Perfect fit for my 2024 Subaru Ascent, clear visibility in heavy rain
Size: 26"+20+14
I purchased these wiper blades as a replacement for the originals on my 2024 Subaru Ascent, and they fit perfectly right out of the box. Installation was quick and straightforward, everything lined up exactly as expected with no adjustments needed. Once installed, the difference was immediately noticeable. The windshield clears smoothly with no streaking or skipping, even during steady rain. **What stood out:** * Exact fit for my 2024 Subaru Ascent * Easy installation * Quiet operation (no squeaking or chatter) * Very clear visibility during rainstorms (I get very nervous driving in the rain) After driving in several rainy conditions, my windshield stays crystal clear, which makes a big difference for nighttime driving and highway visibility. **Overall:** Great quality for the price and performs just as well as more expensive name-brand replacements. I would definitely purchase these again and recommend them to other Subaru Ascent owners looking for an easy, reliable replacement.
