¡Hola, espero la estés pasando muy bien!
Hi, I hope you are having a great time!
La verdad no recuerdo la última vez que probé una banana o plátano, solo recuerdo haber comido la mitad, esto debido a su alto contenido de carbohidratos (azúcares del tipo "fructosa")...sí por eso tiene un sabor dulce al paladar (ojo con eso).
I don't really remember the last time I tasted a banana or plantain, I only remember eating half of it, due to its high carbohydrate content (fructose sugars)...yes that's why it tastes sweet to the palate (be careful with that).
Changing the subject, these bananas were a big order. At the beginning I knitted 2 prototypes to see which one would fit. Another fact here was that when I was looking for reference images I noticed several bananas with a light green base. Then I remembered when I used to eat bananas and I noticed that the green part is usually on top and when peeled it shouldn't be noticeable. As they are prototypes I can make normal changes (happily).
Both models were chosen, i.e. half with embroidered eyes and half with security eyes. I was going to give him the option of winking, but then thought better of it.
The funny thing about this design is that the edible part of the banana is woven upside down so that it is well formed (right banana) compared to when I wove it normal and then flipped it over (left banana). Also, I wanted the leaves to resemble the real ones, just as you see them in the banana field.
At first I thought this was going to be easy, then I remember counting the units all the time and oddly I was missing one every time I counted...haha.
¡Y eso es todo!
¡…Hasta la próxima!
See you next time!
Dato curioso: En estos días estaré subiendo los video tutoriales de las otras partes, por si se animan a tejerlas / In these days I will be uploading the video tutorials of the other parts, in case you want to knit them.
