Gudrun was born in Shetland in the 70’s when her mother was running the successful knitwear design company, The Shetland Trader. Some 30 years later and now living in the U.S, Gudrun has followed in her mother’s footsteps by reviving the Shetland Trader name, and has made a name for herself in the knitwear design industry.
Gudrun often includes aspects of her Shetland heritage in her designs, mostly utilizing traditional lace patterns in a contemporary context. She also loves to design using seamless construction methods and is always adding new methods to her seamless knitting skills.
Gudrun’s books include: Knit With Me (a mother/daughter collection), The Shetland Trader Book One and The Shetland Trader Book Two.
