Hi Andrea
You are right doing a relation between the Quipus and the carpets! Its very interesting to find some similitude between different cultures, and historic periods. Knots are the base of many textiles, and also the base of a lot of mountain and sailing apparel.
How can we communicate now trough them? Using thread to repair our clothes by ourselves? knotting our hair with rastas? Knotting handkerchief often to remember? (I know the expression, but I can’t find a phrase in Spanish to say it).
Knots to remember.
Knots to tell, to count, to fix, to join….
Knots to unknot?
*I found this objects ( 1_3) on the street some days ago. Beautiful knots.
