Doggerland: Knits From A Lost Landscape PDF ebook
Doggerland: Knits from a Lost Landscape is a collection of accessories inspired by a submerged landscape. It uses motifs commonly found on artefacts from the Middle Stone Age and seeks to take you on a journey through landscapes of your own.
The idea for the Doggerland collection first came to me when I was looking at artefacts in the National Museum of Denmark’s Prehistory section. I was looking at a bone antler fragment carved with beautiful, simple designs when my partner started reading aloud a piece about the lost region of Doggerland – a Mesolithic landscape now lost to the North Sea between the UK and Scandinavia. I loved the simplicity of the carved antler and I loved the story of a lost landscape that once formed a land bridge between Denmark (where I grew up) and Britain (where I now live).
