In the Nordic countries and Scandinavia keeping traditions and skills alive is very important and because of this there is a deep appreciation of craftsmanship.  Knitting, carving and ancient skills that have been passed down through generations and link us to the past are held in high regard and as such people who have these skills are well paid and able in their turn to train the next generation of artisans.
