Ilahe - Short socks

Ilahe - Short socks

Teresa Hamlin
Ilahe is from the village of Imamqulukend in Qusar.  She is a part of the Lezgi people group.  Her village is famous for knitting socks and Ilahe says she learned from her mother-in-law whom she has been living with since she got married 20 years ago.  She also works in the small clinic in their village as a cleaner and brings her knitting with her to knit in the slow times.  She enjoys being able to earn extra money to spend on things her 2 older children need.
