Police Investigator Wilma Lind is Norwegian, just as author Hanne Kristin Rohde and the yarn used in the sample: Sølje by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Last but crucial is the fact that the designer Linda Marveng is also Norwegian. The Wilma Lind Jacket is inspired by the crime protagonist in her crime books: Strong, brave, weak, smart, impulsive, warm, uncertain, and daring. With the same need to be noticed, just like the rest of us. The sample is worked in red to symbolize power and hope.

Linda Marveng
I design knitwear that are classic with a stylish twist and a textural feel for strong independent women, who have found their style. I aim for an elegant style, but love seeing knitters giving my designs a more edgy, funky style. My garments can be moulded by you, to fit your style. As a designer I aim to create garments you can wear for work, leisure and parties or special occasions, preferably all in one garment which you can dress down or up as you wish. Challenging knits, is what I am passionate about. I want to share with you the sense of accomplishment as well as joy, the making and finishing of a knitted garment gives. So that you can be proud to wear your handmade knits.
