The dearth of the nordic sweater

Hmm so you'd think being in a Scandanavian country that I would have an easy time finding the perfect authentic christmas gift: the nordic sweater. You know of what I speak...the sweater with some interesting angles,zig zags, maybe a snowflake design, triangles etc., that is hard to wear but a must have in any good wardrobe. Well apparently these sweaters are Norweigan more than Danish fyi. And Danes seem to think they are silly and that I am silly for even thinking that these would be Danish clothing items. Apparently Scandanavia is not so homogenous as we think it is....FYI. I think it is easier to get a nordic sweater in the US than here in Nord country...damn globalization for making original gifts quite hard to find!
