Autorentext

Wenche Roald (b. 1965) is the designer of the great and colorful knitwear you find behind the popular @wroald profiles on Instagram and @knitnetty on Ravelry and on Wenches hobby blog website. Wenche started knitting as a five-year-old, and it didn't take long for both her dolls to be wearing knits she created for them. The work career started with system development, but her creative mind and passion to knit, it gradually became natural to let the knitting hobby become a full-time job. Annichen Sibbern Bøhn (born 1905, died 1978) was a Norwegian knitter, designer and writer. She is best known for her collection of Norwegian knitting patterns, which in 1929 led to the publication of the book Norwegian knitting patterns . She worked at the Norwegian Folk Museum when she started collecting the patterns, and her collection of knitting patterns laid the foundation for the diversity of knitting patterns that is known in Norway today.
