Books by Gerd Fjellanger

Gerd Fjellanger has been knitting since she was very young. 'I have been knitting since I was a little girl and have my mother to blame. I was fascinated by her ability to create mittens and socks (and whatever else we needed) with just a ball of yarn and two needles. She taught me the basics when I was six, so all through my childhood I dressed up my happy dolls in my own 'designer' clothes.' Her training includes weaving, sewing, designing and constructing, and says 'I have not pursued any of these careers exclusively, but the skills I acquired have been the foundation on which my career rests.' Sixteen years ago Gerd started up as a knitting designer for a Norwegian yarn company. Five years later she stepped out into the unknown and started freelancing, and five years ago decided to start her own business. She now delivers knitting designs and instructions to yarn companies and magazines on a regular basis.
