Since I started knitting about 4 years ago, this is the first time I’ve knitted something for my Dad. Daddy, so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long 
but I hope that you will like this pair of socks 
. Now you’ll just wait to wait a few more months before you can put them on and keep your toes toasty warm 
.
Pattern: Open Rib by Charlene Schurch from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: 0.7 skeins of ONline Supersocke 100 Cotton Summer Color
Needles: 2.75 mm
Once, a colleague of mine said this when he found out that I knit, “Why are you knitting? You’re not old. Knitting are for Grandmas!!” I’m pretty sure a lot of people who are not too familiar with knitting or other handicrafts have the same opinion that only grandmas are knitters. 
How stereotypical. I came across this video in Ravelry and I really think this is one of the reason why the whole world should knit

My mum also thinks knitting is for old ppl! Until she saw Ravelry…

The socks are pretty and looks really one of a kind. Definitely not something which can be seen outside. I’m sure your Dad is going to love it.

Hand knitted socks are always one of a kind and it’ll be hard to find the same pair elsewhere as it depends on which pattern and which yarn the knitter chooses to use

I didn’t think knitting had benefits. That’s awesome. That pair of socks you knitted looks adorable as well. I’m sure you’re daddy will feel oh so mushy inside when he gets it
