¡Hola, espero te encuentres de maravilla!
Hi, I hope you are feeling great
Me encuentro feliz de presentarles al personaje n°1 de la colección de este año. Se trata de "Curti" y está inspirado en el chuño negro o simplemente chuño, siendo este un alimento milenario.
I am happy to introduce you to the number 1 character of this year's collection. He is called "Curti" and is inspired by the black chuño or simply chuño, an ancient foodstuff.
¿Qué es el chuño?
El chuño es una papa, la cual pasa por un proceso de congelamiento, luego es expuesta al sol de y finalmente es deshidratada. Este proceso es de manera natural y lleva casi una semana, se realiza en algunas zonas especiales del Altiplano.
The chuño is a potato, which goes through a freezing process, then it is exposed to the sun and finally it is dehydrated. This process is done in a natural way and takes about a week, it is carried out in some special areas of the Altiplano.
As you know, there is a story behind every character. Curti has wide feet because when making chuño, people press the ice water out of the potatoes with their feet.
This amigurumi has an expression of "We are in the information age and you still don't know me". Not to mention its nutritional value, simply amazing.
Here the colours of the chuño stand out more, with the poncho...because it didn't look so similar before, haha. The border symbolises the ice from the cold areas required for its elaboration.
And then it was time to embroider the face. This is where the character comes to life, haha. There are still more details that Curti hides, for the moment these are the most outstanding ones.

May is coming and if you knit amigurumi I invite you to participate in the #Amigurumay2023 organised by airali_gray. Last year I participated and met several amigurumistas from all over the world. It's not compulsory to participate every day, the idea is to have fun and exploit your creativity.

¡Hasta la próxima!
See you next time!
Dato curioso: Tal como lo dijo una amiga de Hive, este diseño (el muñeco tejido) sí estará disponible al extranjero, para que los niños jueguen con él. | As a friend of Hive said, this design (the knitted doll) will be available abroad for children to play with.

Hello curti. 🥰 You're so cute. I like to keep you, can I?
He's adorable and how I wish I could participate the amigurumay2023. I just need MORE TIME. Time flies so fast that all the things that should be done we're still unfinished. If someone could freeze the time so I could make them all done, lol. 😅
Anyway, thanks for sharing it here @inici-arte. 🥰
This chuño is a real piece of work, haha. I remember last year it was crazy, I participated every day. Now that I know what's coming I won't put so much pressure on myself. I'll go at my own pace... It's not that I have too much time, I just feel that the day has more hours. A big hug.
I bet your entries are awesome. I know your expertise in amis and it inspired me everytime I see your works. You had practised a lot by participating everyday, and I guess you know now exactly what is best to present. Yours are very unexpected and very unique designs of amis. Can I ask, how to be you?😁
Que bonito es Curti, un personaje que cuenta una historia y que te quedó demasiado bonito.
Felicitaciones, esperemos Curti crezca y llegue a ser un adulto responsable ja ja.
Hola y muchas gracias. Este chuñito se las trae. Es un representante de nuestra cultura andina. Cierto, varios de mis personajes son infantes...a lo mucho adolescentes, jaja. ¡Que sigan las buenas vibras!.

Pero que hermosoooo me encanta esta papita llamada chuño, no sabía que existiese algo así, se que hay muchísimas variedades de papa sobre todo en el Perú, pero este modo de preparar primero congelando no tenia idea. Saludos
Hola Irene. El chuño es la papa procesada y se realiza exclusivamente en zonas de altura (Puna) donde hay heladas. Justo en junio toca hacer chuño. Mi abuela y papá elaboran chuño por tradición. Aún falta más investigación sobre los alimentos prehispánicos, comenzando con el lugar de origen (antiguedad y consumo). ¡Que sigan las buenas vibras!.
Keep it up. You are doing a great job here
Thank you very much!.
