Pengiun Sweaters

In recent global knitting news (the only global knitting news in the past 3 years), a request by a New Zealand yarn shop has exploded into a viral sensation.

After posting a request for a few penguin jumpers on their website, the store has received adorable frocks from around the world. The sweaters' purpose, they say, is to keep penguins affected by a recent oil spill from preening and ingesting the oil on their feathers. Also, its to make them look even cuter than they already are. Or something. I'm not really sure which is more important.

Their goal has been met, but you probably need to see the picture anyway.

It is exactly as it seems.
