All contributors to the book dedicated their creations of clothes and accessories to the campaign for healthy hearts of women.

Our favorite is the tunic by Daniela Johannsenova who is famous for the publications of her own designs and her lovely shop in Cologne, Germany, where knitting meetings are an insider´s tip already!
