I wonder if the woman who knitted the scarf knows about this?

Bowie also did a song with Pat Metheny for the soundtrack to “The Falcon and the Snowman”
Bowie must have really been into snowmen in the early 80s, that’s too much coincidence for the science of the time to explain.

I watched this animation a bunch as a kid in the UK, but have no memory of the Bowie intro. Thank heavens I was spared having this sweet memory associated with a hebephilic sexual predator.
Why won’t people ever hold things up properly so that I can knit a replica? I can’t quite make out the stitch… Is it a stockinette back and a garter stitch front? What is the gauge of yarn? Intarsia or is the yarn worked across?
If the post is about the scarf, show us the scarf.
