Treasure Forest (The Forest Inside, Book 1) by Cat Bordhi
Mystery
This is a fun book with lots of interesting patterns once you conquer the technique of moebius cast on. Try the First Treasury of Magical Knitting before heading into this one.
Though not expertly crafted, this story drew me in. There's a journey in both physical and liminal space, the stillness of the forest, fiber arts, and the promise of something stable and permanent under the transient physical nature of things, a message that is especially comforting to me in 2020. It was not a surprise to learn that Bordhi was influenced by Eckhart Tolle. I kind of want to check out her knitting books and tutorials now.
Some good patterns here. The author's tone - "I was the first person ever to think of this EVER!" - can be annoying, but the patterns are worthwhile.
