Norwegian Knitting Designs 90 Years Later

Auteur

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.
