There is probably some pun here I'm too uncreative to make.

Great catch! Also really like the colours and lighting.

Man kann gewürfelten Naturtofu zusätzlich auch gut in Stärke wälzen (ich schmeiß dazu immer alles in eine Tupperdose und schüttele alles durch) und danach in der Pfanne braten. Ich drück da vorm Würfeln noch mit etwas Küchenrolle das überflüssige Wasser aus dem Tofu und kipp etwas Sojasauce beim Braten dazu (da muss man dann aber ein bisschen aufpassen, dass das nicht anbrennt)

Glad you like them :) I used this pattern for the glove, however it is in German. There were some patterns in English I just looked up which seem to be somewhat similar (like these for example).

Are they really? I have to admit that I do like them, but I was under the impression that their lyrics where mostly meant to be funny. But then again, I don't always pay attention to the lyrics 😅

I can see the pineapple impression 😄 You are right, it's a seed stitch for the body.

It definetly was fun to just start and see how it works out (although I wished I had made some more comprehensive notes while knitting the first warmer; that would have been helpful in getting the second one to turn out similarly 🙈)

Thanks, they do keep you really warm, can recommend 😊

Thank you! I had to redo a couple of rows because I wasn't happy with the cable placement relative to the rib stitches and to get the owl proportions right, though. And I think having done gloves before helped the most :)

Thank you, they are definetly quite warm! I guess I'll keep them as they are then 😁

 

Some hand warmes with an owl cable stitch I finished recently. I didn't have much of a pattern, so I hope this post is still allowed.

Basically, I went off this picture for the owl/kable knit pattern and used some pattern for gloves to get the thumbs right.

I was thinking about maybe adding french knot stitches as eyes to make the owls more prominent, but I think I like the plain version better.

The detail in the feathers is amazing. Also love that little jump!

I believe you are correct about it being a military map. The visible Polish(?) text is part of the map legend given in German and English.
