Scandinavian Style: The Killing

— by Alyson Walsh

Feeling quite excited today. My sinuses are no longer creaking in agony (thank heavens for acupuncture), there’s a Christmas gift guide in the weekend newspaper – I love a gift guide. Being such a tightwad, I never buy anything but I do find the under £10 section particularly fascinating – and series two of The Killing is on telly tonight. I can’t wait for the latest installment. There were more twists and turns in the last series than a waltzer ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Fantastic.

Sofie Grabol, 43, who plays Detective Lund has a new jumper (see above). Her fairisle sweater became something of a cult item in the first series, causing the actor to remark, ‘I love that sweater and yet I hate it. It’s so strong that it’s almost wearing me. So before we made the second series we had a meeting and I said, “The audience wants the sweater so I’m not going to give it to them.”‘ To help her grow to love her new scarlet chunky knit – and liven up those long, dark Danish days – here’s how I think she should wear it:


This sequin maxi is by M&S and has my name on it. The velvet slippers are Penelope Chilvers. The sweater is another winner from Gudrun Gudrun. Oh and apparently Jumper Number One does make a comeback.
