interesting, cristina- I'll have to check it out. This is just what I was shown from a missionaries kid. They were around Lima I believe. I wonder if the ladies do it differently in different parts of the country?

You talk sooooo much...

[dontfencemein1979]

@themadsnail ;-) Thats just me. I probably wouldn't have explained in so much detail if I was putting it up for the whole community, I made the video a long time ago for a couple of friends of mine, and I wanted to be clear about what was going on. Hope it doesn't detract from the instructions.

cool thanks how do you make it big so it can be a blanket?

You can use a circular needle if you like. Im mainly in to small projects because of my short attention span with projects. Everything else is the same though. Your knitting will overlap your thumb on your right hand.

This is a variation of "Lever Knitting." check the video, "Lever Knitting the Yarn Harlot Way," it's different in the way the yarn is held.

Since knitting came to South Americans with Europeans and different people seem to knit in different ways, it would be interesting to find out who learned from whom.

Peruvian women knit with the working yarn on the left hand like continental and the right needle is right like you show holding like a pencil. You can check a very talented peruvian lady that as a channel here on you tube.

This is no different to the English way of knitting! This is the way I was taught to knit too . I thought Peruvian's tension their yard around the neck.

I'm an English pensioner and mum mum taught me to knit like this as a small child. I've just viewed the English method of knitting, different. I had no idea I was always knitting the Peruvian way. Oh well you learn something new everyday.
