Granos nativos: quinua
¡Hola, espero la estén pasando bien!
Hi, I hope you are having a good time!
Desde el sur andino hasta la costa peruana crece una de las plantas más alimenticias del mundo como lo es la quinua. Al enterarse de esto, Prisilla fue investigando y cada vez quedó más maravillada con las propiedades de esta planta, entre ellas se menciona el alto porcentaje de proteínas (14%) y aminoácidos esenciales (8). Por ello, ella es una de las guardianas de la quinua, cultiva y conserva las distintas variedades que crecen en donde vive (Melgar, Puno).
From the southern Andes to the Peruvian coast, quinoa is one of the most nutritious plants in the world. When Prisilla found out about this, she began to investigate and became more and more amazed by the properties of this plant, among them the high percentage of proteins (14%) and essential amino acids (8). For this reason, she is one of the guardians of quinoa, cultivating and conserving the different varieties that grow where she lives (Melgar, Puno).
También descubrió que al contener alto grado de fibra puede incorporarse al desayuno, para así comenzar los días con las energías recargadas. Otras maneras de consumirlas son en guisos, caldos y como bocaditos (apelmazados).
He also discovered that as they are high in fibre, they can be incorporated into breakfast to start the day with recharged energy. Other ways to consume them are in stews, broths and as snacks.

A tejer/ To weave:
However, I must first point out the following: pencil and paper are faithful companions in moments of inspiration. That is why we began by drawing a sketch of the character and we placed the main characteristics to be incorporated.
The knitting began with the slippers and stockings. For this we planned that the colours had to match the dress (fig. 1), we continued knitting the legs and part of the shorts, then we joined both legs with 2 stitches and little by little we formed the waist (fig. 2).
At the end of the shorts, the body was knitted in a different colour. The head was knitted with a magic ring of 7 stitches, followed by increases, straight stitches and decreases. Each strand of hair was knitted according to the desired length (fig. 3). The arms were knitted with a ring of 6 stitches, then knitted straight and before finishing they were changed to the colour of the pole (fig. 4).
The stitch of the dress is new to me, it was a combination of the tunisian stitch and the chickpea stitch (fig. 5 and 6). Only 2 motifs were knitted. The waistband and shoulder straps were knitted in single crochet (fig. 7).
Finally, she embroidered her face, knitted a cap and some quinoa leaves.
¡Y eso es todo!,
¡…Hasta la próxima!
See you next time!
Dato curioso: La quinua es considera "súper alimento" por sus propiedades nutricionales / Quinoa is considered a "superfood" because of its nutritional properties.

Hola, muchas gracias por comentar. Ella es Prisilla, guardiana de la quinua. ¡Buenas vibras!.
Te quedó hermoso... Que creatividad... ❤️
¡Muchas gracias!. Los amigurumis pequeños son curiosos y se prestan para varias ideas locas. ¡Buenas vibras!.
¡Qué bonito personaje Prisilla, la quinua; y buena creatividad para respresentarlo en un amigurumi!
¡Muchas gracias!. Ella representa una de las variedades, aún faltan más guardianas de la quinua.
She is too cute! I amazing how you draw your character first then you can already make an amigurumi of it. 😯
Hello! Since I was a little girl (4 years old), I remember that I spent my free time drawing and painting. Drawing and painting also helped me a lot when I was studying at school and university... especially to memorise botany and anatomy of flora and fauna. Good vibes!
Oh, that's a cool way to retain memory of what you study. ❤️
The knitting is cute, making a doll from a wool. Such creativity is awesome to today's needlework industry
It is true, many young people are now choosing to take up knitting again, either as therapy, distraction or to encourage them to try new skills. I feel that amigurumis make knitting more fun and motivating, good vibes!
Thank You, its good to know young are being trained with the knowledge
Hola... Como siempre aprendo de la cultura de tu país con tus post. Prisilla ha quedado preciosa y además lleva en sus manos, quinua que me encanta consumir en mi dieta.
Interesante la puntada del vestido, la voy a practicar, aún no logro precisarla, seguro con aguja e hilo en las manos la precisaré 😊. Ademá, la panojas de quinua quedaron perfectas.
Saludos
¡Hola!, muchas gracias. La quinua es nutritiva y saludable. Este punto es complicado, por el momento solo tejí piezas pequeñas. La practicaré más para realizar un tutorial. ¡Buenas vibras!.
