Biographical note

Wenche Roald learned to knit at the age of five. She originally worked in systems development, but with her love of needles and yarn and an endless well of creativity, she gradually turned knitting and knit design from a cherished hobby into a full-time career. 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.
