The Art of the Sea
€39.99
A knitting book by Laine
272 pages, hardcover
Description
The Moomins have been part of our imaginations for eighty years — mischievous, tender, endlessly curious. Their creator, Tove Jansson, gave us not only unforgettable characters but also a philosophy of life: the courage to be yourself, the joy of companionship, and the quiet beauty of nature’s rhythms.
This book celebrates that legacy through the art of knitting. With 23 patterns by 18 international designers, it translates the atmosphere of Moominvalley into stitches: garments and accessories that carry the warmth of Moominmamma’s embrace, the wit of Little My, the independence of Snufkin, and the salt-tinged breath of the northern sea.
Find out more about this book and the pattern knitted in our yarn by reading our blog post.
