Greetings to all women of Greenland!

I have always found your national costumes fascinating - a true work of art. Making a costume is said to take up to a year.

It inspired me to design this sweater.

It is, of course, merely a humble attempt to capture the spirit of this beautiful costume by using a pair of knitting needles.
