Happy Father‘s Day



 Ready in time for Father’s Day!


These socks, knitted in Road Trip Yarn and started during our Winter Road Trip to Florida, are finished 😊🧦 πŸ₯³πŸ‘πŸ» 🍌


Have you heard of Banana Socks?🍌🧦

They were quite popular a few years back as a very easy sock pattern with no heel construction.

Nobody knows who the original designer is, but there are a few versions available on line, most of them free.

They are a simple tube sock construction with ribbing on one half of the sock and garter stich on the other.  And voila, they spring into the shape of a banana.🍌


To make them for my husband gives a nod, too, to his hometown or rather the closest bigger city to his hometown, Liverpool, UK.

There you find the iconic Superlambanana statue.  πŸ‘πŸŒ
