ʻO Mei MacCormick mai Sanquhar, ʻo ia kekahi o nā knitters hope loa me ka ʻike piha o nā hoʻolālā lima lima Sanquhar.

Hoʻopili ʻia nā mea kūʻokoʻa i ke kauhale a ua lilo kā lākou hana ʻana i mea hana kiʻi emi.

ʻO kā lākou mau hoʻolālā monochrome i hoʻi mai i ke kenekulia 18 a ua paʻa ʻo Mei e hoʻomau i ka hana kuʻuna.

Ua haʻi ʻo ia iā BBC Scotland News he "mea nui" ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻoihana hale no nā mamo.

ʻO nā mīkina lima ʻo Sanquhar i ulana ʻia i loko o kahi hiʻohiʻona paʻakikī, ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo a kūʻai ʻia e nā kamaʻāina e kōkua i kā lākou loaʻa kālā i nā kenekulia 18 a me 19.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo May ʻaʻole i kākau ʻia ka hapa nui o nā hoʻolālā.

He 16 mau hiʻohiʻona mīkina lima hoʻoilina a ua hana mua ʻo ia i 11 o nā mamana i ka pepa.

"Holo kēia mau mea inā ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake i kēlā ma kahi kuʻuna," wahi āna.

"Ua lawa nā āpau i ka moʻolelo o ka wili Sanquhar e like me ia. ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike mai hea mai ia, ʻike mākou he ʻoihana hale hale akā ʻaʻole maopopo mākou i hea mai ia a i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai."

Hāʻawi ʻo May i kona ʻike ma o nā hōʻikeʻike a me nā huakaʻi ma ke kikowaena kaiāulu ʻo A' The Airts ma Sanquhar.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Judith Hewitt, Curator for Dumfries and Galloway Museums (East): "Ma nā makahiki 1770, ua manaʻo ʻia ua komo ʻo Sanquhar i nā lole knitwear a he nui nā poʻe o ke kūlanakauhale i komo i ka ʻoihana knitwear.

"Malia paha aia ʻo Sanquhar ma kahi aʻa nui ma waena o Dumfries a me Glasgow no laila ʻelua mau wahi e hiki ai ke kālepa a kūʻai aku."

Ua kaulana ʻo Sanquhar no ka hana ʻana i ke kapena a ʻo ka manaʻo hoʻokahi ʻo ia ka mea i loaʻa i nā mīkina lima i ka ulana kāpeti, e ʻoi aku ka ikaika a me ka lōʻihi.

Ua hāʻawi ʻia nā inoa e like me Cornet and Drum, Fleur de Lys, Prince of Wales, Pheasant's Eye a me Shepherd's Plaid.

ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona kaulana loa, ʻo ka hoʻolālā aristocratic "Duke", i kapa ʻia ma hope o nā Dukes of Queensberry a ma hope ʻo Buccleuch, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe paha i ka ʻaoʻao o ka knitwear.

ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe he hoʻolālā "Midge and Flea" a me kahi kumu "Rose", i kapa ʻia i ka makahiki 1930, ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o ke Kamāliʻiwahine Margaret Rose.

Ua aʻo ʻo May i ka ʻoihana mai kona makuahine, ka mea i aʻo ʻia ma ka Scottish Women's Institute (SWI) ma Sanqhuar.

E like me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui, ʻo ka hoʻolālā mua āna i aʻo ai ʻo ke ʻano o ke Duke.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo May: "I koʻu male ʻana a hiki i Sanquhar, ʻo ia ka manawa i hoʻolauna ʻia ai au i nā ʻano ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe e kekahi wahine i mana ma luna o ia.

"I kona hoʻoholo ʻana ʻaʻole ʻo ia e wili hou i nā mīkina lima, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi mīkina lima o kēlā me kēia ʻano a nīnau ʻo ia iaʻu inā makemake wau i kāna mau mīkina lima a inā ʻaʻole, e hele lākou i ka hale hōʻikeʻike."

Ua manaʻo ʻo May e hele nā ​​mīkina lima i ka hale hōʻikeʻike akā ua nīnau ʻo ia i ka wahine - ʻo Jane Forsyth - inā hiki iā ia ke hana i nā kope ma mua o ko lākou hele ʻana.

I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Mei i nā hoʻolālā.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "He 10 i paʻi ʻia, aia kahi ʻumikūmākahi e puka mai ana no laila ke hana nei wau i koʻu ala ma o lākou e like me kēlā i ka minuke.

"Ke kakau nei au ia mea i ko'u wili ana, pela no ka'u hana ana."

I loko o nā hiʻohiʻona mīkina lima Sanqhuar 16, ʻeiwa ka hoʻolālā huinahā, i ʻike ʻia e Mei ma ka puʻuwai.

Akā ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kāna mau mīkina lima kope e kākau i nā hiʻohiʻona ʻehiku ʻē aʻe.

Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia: "He maʻalahi loa nā ʻano huinahā no ka mea like nā ʻano like ʻole no lākou a pau, ʻo ia ka mea āu e hoʻokomo ai i loko o ka huinahā e ʻokoʻa ai."

Hoʻopili ʻia nā mīkina lima ma luna o nā nila liʻiliʻi ʻehā i ka poepoe no laila ʻaʻohe humuhumu.

ʻO kahi ʻāpana o ka moʻomeheu ʻo ia ka wili ʻana i nā hua mua o ka mea nona i loko o ka cuff, e hoʻopilikino i nā mīkina lima.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo May: "ʻO ka nui o nā humuhumu āu e hoʻohana ai, ka piʻi ʻana, ka emi ʻana, ua like nā mea a pau akā ʻo ka nui o ka nila a me ka mānoanoa o ka hulu hipa ka mea e ʻokoʻa ai."

Ua holo ʻo ia i nā papa e aʻo i ka poʻe pehea e hana ai i nā mīkina lima Sanquhar a mālama i ka moʻomeheu.

I ka wā maʻi maʻi, aia nō nā papa zoom online, i mālama ʻia i kēia manawa ma YouTube.

Hiki i kekahi manawa ke kōkua i ka hili ʻana ma ke kikowaena A' The Airts, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o ka hili ʻana i nā mīkina lima ma ke komisina, e like me ka hana a kona makuahine.

"He ʻōlelo waha wale nō ia. E hele ana kēia i kahi kaikamahine 15 makahiki," wahi āna, e hōʻike ana i nā mīkina lima uliuli a me ke keʻokeʻo.

"Ua hoʻopau wau i nā mīkina lima o ke keikikāne a aia ke keikikāne ma kāna mau makahiki he 20. Ke ʻike nei au he nui aʻe nā poʻe ʻōpio makemake iā lākou i kēia manawa."
