Coastal Landscapes: Islands & Inspirations with Erika Åberg!
Erika Åberg - knitwear designer and author - will join us at our Fiberside to talk about her newly published book Island Knitting - Beautiful Knitting Patterns Inspired by Coastal Landscapes. Together we will embark on a knitting journey through the captivating landscapes of Shetland, the Outer Hebrides, Gotland and Blidö. The book features 20 patterns inspired by the sea, wind and spirit of each island. Erika will show a selection of samples from the book, share the stories behind the design; the wool, the landscape and how the designs carry the place, landscape and memories in every stitch from these islands of central seclusion. As a designer, she loves to bring all of this into each garment, reflecting heritage, body, warmth and everyday life. We will talk about all of this and life on island of Gotland, in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

Finding Joy on the Needles!

Explore New & Unique Crochet Stitches with Lena Fedotova!
Join crochet designer and stitch creator Lena to see how new crochet stitches appear - and why!
What happens when familiar stitches are no longer enough? New yarns behave differently, new colorways need new solutions, and new shapes ask for new structures and this is where inspiration happens.
In this talk, Lena shares how she creates new stitches and how small technical choices can change the whole fabric. She will show some of the techniques from her book, New Ways with Crochet, and how you can use them in your own projects.
You don't want to miss this Chat where we'll explore fresh ways of thinking about crochet and discover it from a new angle!
