Crafty Help for Penguin Love
Knit a Sweater, Help a Penguin in Need
Too often the news just plain sucks! It's always the bad, the scary and the ugly....but every once and a while we are graced with something positive, a glimpse inside the beautiful side of humanity. I first saw this adorable/warm your heart story on NBC's Nightly News and Etsy.
"A recent oil spill on New Zealand’s coast has left the environment and wildlife in shambles — including the local blue penguin population. While volunteers are working hard to rescue and clean the animals in the region, they require a little bit of crafty help: tiny sweaters, or penguin pajamas, for the rescued birds. These woolen sweaters keep oil-soaked birds warm until they’re well enough to be cleaned and prevent them from ingesting oil from their feathers."

The Etsy Blog has written this great little article and linked how to help. So all you knitters - get your penguin sweaters on!
Penguins in sweaters?! Does it get any better? :)
