From Laine Publishing, Knitted Kalevala by Jenna Kostet is a beautiful collection of 18 knitting patterns inspired by Kalevala, a national poetic epic of Finland. Explore how a sweater can be both a garment and a story with these patterns, which draw from mythology, ancient symbols, mythical creatures, and nature, as well as other Finnish, Karelian, Scandinavian, and Baltic influences. All of the patterns, including all 14 sweater designs, are knit all in one piece, and the colorwork designs are approachable for knitters of all levels. Each design is accompanied with a small sampling of the Kalevala poems... A truly beautiful book!
