Guðrun Rógvadóttir and Guðrun Ludvig earn their living out of knitwear. So said, it may not sound exciting, but, again, as with many others featured in these pages, there is much more in their story . Theirs is a story of passion for their land and passion for the old craft that was dying before their own eyes and they bravely endeavoured to revive, catalysing their fellow countrypeople rise to a new pride for their culture. And, besides, their business works!
