Can you knit? Then put your skills to good use and knit a penguin a sweater! Says Grist.org:

Now is the time for all good knitters to come to the aid of some penguins. The New Zealand oil spill has left the little guys in need of some warmth and protection, and a Kiwi yarn store has posted patterns for how to knit “penguin jumpers” and instructions on where to send them.

Sad story, yes, but really cute pictures of PENGUINS WEARING SWEATERS!

  5. Alas, the kiwi penguins are now fully vested with knitted garments. I mean, this is a country with 8 sheep per person. Plenty of wool!

  6. They have posted that they already have received enough sweaters. Knitters around the world are always on the alert to knit critter cozies after all kinds of natural and man-made disasters.
