Rafiga Sadykova: "As long as I knit - I live"

      An 80-year-old resident of the village of Bura-Kirta creates unique products. For many, knitting is just a hobby. But for Rafiga Apa, it is a whole life. This year she will turn 80. She dedicated herself to her work as a milkmaid, and in her free time, she always picked up her needles. At first, she knitted for her children, then for her grandchildren, and now for her soul. Our filming crew visited the master. The needles in her hands move quickly. Loop by loop, another miracle is born. This year, the master will turn 80, but her hands know no rest. In her youth, Rafiga Apa knitted clothes for her children, and after retiring, she began to knit for her soul. Unusual bedspreads, chair covers – everything is made neatly, with love, with soul. The needles in Rafiga Sadykova's hands do not stop. She says: as long as I knit, I live. And she shares her warmth with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who know that the most precious thing is what is made by the hands of a dear person.
