These gentlemen are fantastic knitters, creating amazing chullos. They knit with the yarn tensioned around their necks. Their circular intarsia is usually all purled from the inside, first heading left, like we do, and when they reach the end of the round,
they wrap the working yarns around a cord, and work the next round in reverse….
Note the pincer technique.
But look here! This fellow is knitting back, just like we do! He’s a maverick, the only one who does this.
So you see, different styles exist even within the same village.
Gorgeous alpaca, naturally dyed.
This beauty is acrylic.
Just wow! Amazing work!
I’m bright acrylic greenm with envy!
What an interesting technique! It’s like intarsia in the round but … also back and forth? Thanks for getting so many detailed shots of their work.
This report is wonderful beyond words! (As she goes on to use more words!) The men knitting such amazing hats?… their techniques, your observations, descriptions and photos. Amazing.
FABULOUS!!!! Yaomogaochuwah!
Just amazing……..
Wow, absolutely staggering. I still don’t quite have a grasp of how they purl from the inside, I’m going to have to see it done someday.
LOVE the tassle on top of the hat!!!!!!!
Gorgeous. No longer will I be ashamed of my own pincer technique. I taught myself to knit and that’s the way I do it. Maybe it’s because Cancer is my sign?
