The Art of Landscape Knitting by Anne Le Brocq is an interesting knitting book that gives you knitting block or repeat patterns that represent different types of terrain or things you would see in nature. Le Brocq is a geographer as well as a knitter, so she has a unique insight into different types of landscapes.
The pattern blocks are arranged in categories, like weather, terrain, beach, and so on. You can knit individual blocks to be joined together, or knit strips of specific patterns, as in the blanket pictured on the book cover. The author has a website as well – https://www.blanketscapes.com/ where you can find pictures of some example blankets she has made inspired by different parts of the British Isles.
In addition to the pattern blocks, the book includes some knitting basics and some discussion of your options for turning the patterns into blankets. You can either knit one of the full blanket patterns included, or use the block patterns to make your own creations. You could also pretty easily use the blocks for other types of knitted items.
I really like this book, and believe that it will be very useful for some upcoming knitting projects I have in mind. If this sounds at all interesting to you, I highly recommend this book!

This looks neat! I can’t think of a use I have for it at the moment, but it’s something to keep in mind for sure.

Yes, definitely! I keep thinking that maybe the stitch patterns would be useful on a smaller scale for something. It’s a tool for the toolbox 🙂

It could be a fun way to knit blanket squares, maybe, pairing stitch patterns to yarn color.

I’ve been very distracted reading posts recently. If someone has a link I click it, go down a rabbit hole of looking at the posts and forgetting to comment and now I’m so behind. Oops. I love that there’s one from Vatersay, I’m not sure if you remember I did a video from the beach that would be inspired by.

I thought that sounded familiar! She did a lot of lovely blankets from around the UK 🙂 I thought of you when I was looking around her website.
