Ever since I was old enough to understand, my father has always been a strict man, and he holds himself to very high standards. He is very…

I can remember, my father has always been a strict yet demanding man. He’s very intelligent and loves to delve deeply into things; even in his youth, he was exceptionally talented. Despite only having a junior high school education, he became a key technical figure at his workplace, and everyone admires his professional expertise. He’s also skilled at making furniture—his handiwork is truly remarkable and incredibly delicate. (I might have inherited this talent from him, haha—I’m being a bit boastful here {}{}). In my heart, my father is truly all‑capable. Although he can be rather stern at times, I still really like this old man {}{}. The sweater I knitted for Dad is finally finished, and I just hope it brings him a little warmth during this cold winter. Yesterday, I let him try it on, and you could tell he was delighted—had Mom not reminded him, he would’ve kept it on all day long {}{}. The pattern came from an online image; there wasn’t a written chart available, so I simply followed the picture since I liked how it looked. I still can’t draw knitting charts myself {}. If anyone needs a chart, please give this post a big thumbs up {}{}—I’ll slowly experiment with how to create one and share it later {}{}{}. #LoveForFather’sDay# #KnittingWithNeedles#
