Designer Ronja Hakalehto @ronjahakalehto and @laine_publishing are publishing today, “Unfolding Landscapes – 17 Knits for the Road“, a book that features 17 magnificent knitted designs inspired by a journey through northern Finland, celebrating nature, shared moments and the joy of exploring uncharted paths with loved ones.
These designs have been created for the whole family, using a wide variety of techniques and levels of difficulty, ranging from complex colourful patterns and cables to stitches of elegant simplicity.
We are delighted to see the beautiful “Roamer” cable-knit sweater, knitted in Gilliatt “darjeeling” featured in this book.
