OH MY GOD
This is what a tortoise would look like if my late grandmother had owned one, everyone in her family had things knitted for them and there were knitted coverings on many household objects in her flat.

Penguin sweaters, also known as penguin jumpers, are sweaters which are knitted for penguins that have been caught in oil slicks. When an oil spill affects penguins, they are dressed in knitted sweaters to stop them preening their feathers and to keep them warm, since the spilled oil destroys their natural oils. This also prevents them from poisoning themselves by ingesting the oil. The sweaters are removed and discarded as soon as the penguins can be washed.

for escute — you can get an idea of how small the flakes are from the knitted wool, and you can see that yes, the patterns are sometimes visible.
OMG this is awesome. It’s in answer to a follower of ohscience who had never seen snow in real life and was curious as to how big snowflakes really are, whether it’s possible to see any details of the pattern.
If you’re not following ohscience, I would highly recommend you to do so. Excellent stuff.
