Anne Bårdsgård grew up in Selbu, and has always had a close relationship with her hometown and its rich knitting history--her relentless interest in the traditional mittens that made Selbu famous worldwide became the groundwork for her first book, the stunning all-in-one historical reference, design compendium, and mitten pattern guide Selbu Mittens .

The result is a unique and unequaled look into the traditional knitting culture of the Selbu region--and an endlessly inspiring pattern resource.
