Kindred Knits: Patterns from My Estonian Family Archives by Aleks Byrd is a captivating collection from Laine Publishing that weaves together family heritage and modern knitting. Inspired by her grandmother Hilja’s sketchbooks and her family’s heirloom crafts, Aleks has created 15 patterns, from socks and hats to sweaters and cardigans, featuring lace, cables, colorwork, and the especially traditional Estonian inlay technique, Roosimine. Aleks’ signature approach blends modern techniques with classic Estonian texture, resulting in projects that are as beautiful as they are wearable. Kindred Knits is a perfect book for anyone who loves rich texture, meaningful design, and the joy of creating something with history and heart.
