Linka Neumann grew up in Oslo in a family who loved to travel; outdoor activities were a big part of her childhood. Linka also loved to draw and paint, but she was the only member of her family who didn’t knit! This changed after she worked in a nursing home where the staff and the patients knitted Linka made her first sweater, and so began a new chapter in her life.
Linka eventually began to design her own garments, and her first sweater, the Wilderness Sweater with its distinctive dog-paw-print motif, is still one of her most popular. She has published three books her first, published in 2019, was on the bestseller list for over 30 weeks and has been translated into several languages.
