About nupp,
here, in Estonia.
Yes, I am absolutely agree with that if everybody creats its own method for Estonian nupp, just nupp, Shetland shawls, Norweigean socks or Kihnu mittens. These methods still will not ne the Kihnu method, Shetland shawl method, Orenburg shawl method and so on, but the creators own ideas.
If I create new method for knitting Kihnu braid, and noone saw nor heard about that method I’d rather name it new braid method and not Kihnu braid method. Why not? Because I honour the traditions and understand that my new method can not be no way the Kihnu method. Same goes with Haapsalu shawl…. there is required details to make it namesake. Again- because honour of traditions I never name my shawls Haapsalu shawl if one of these required details missing, I then name it just shawl or naming it just what likes me most.
