"After three decades as a knitwear designer, I have gathered my patterns, techniques, and experience in my new book Knitting with Linen. Focusing on linen's unique character, I show how a natural material with a long history can be transformed into timeless garments that become more beautiful the more they are worn."
In the book, she shares instructions for 29 linen sweaters, cardigans, and vests. It is intended for both beginners and experienced knitters. The four basic garments can be adapted to individual measurements and preferences. The book features textured patterns, lace patterns, intarsia patterns, and patterns using slipped stitches. It also includes advice on finishing, as well as on washing and storing the garments in the best possible way. The garments' beautiful color palette is inspired by the atmospheric landscape of Öland, which she also portrays in the book.
