I am born in 1963 on a farm in Ål in Hallingdal, a small village in the middle of Norway. I learned to knit and crochet at a young age as my mother, aunt, and grandmother were all competent knitters. I have always been knitting/crocheting and I have always been very enthusiastic about everything that has to with yarns and colors, but it is the last 15 years it has been more than a hobby. I met a famous Norwegian designer whom I learned a lot from, and she introduced me also to other people in the business. I design for a Norwegian magazine, and consultant for other craft authors, and translate books and draw charts for publishers and magazines.
