Outdoor life has always been a big part of knitting designer Linka Neuman’s life, and she is dedicated to knit sweaters that not only look tough, but also withstand rough weather. She is inspired by people who have a different lifestyle and dare to invest in what they believe in. Her wilderness sweaters have joined adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts on strenuous trips in forests and mountains – and on expeditions to Canada and Mount Everest. In this new book she shares recipes for sweaters with genuine and distinctive patterns inspired by indigenous people and by nature.
