KNITTING, PUPPETS AND CREATIVITY

Knitting Tradition

High in the Andes of Peru, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, knitting warm clothing has been a way of life for thousands of years. In these agrarian communities, girls and boys learn to knit while young. Today, knitting toys and ornaments allows creative women to earn supplemental income for their families.

Knitter Tradition

In the US, it is easy to get nostalgic while looking back 100 to 200 years ago. In Peru, where complex civilizations have existed for thousands of years, people may have quite a different perspective.
