The sweaters that these penguins are wearing are designed to save their lives after oil spills off of the Australian coast. They were knitted by Aussie Relief Society sisters. Who says that LDS service projects aren’t fun? (And as Nate asked last time: Who got to put them on the penguins?)

Awwww . . . .
Reminds me of the Exxon Valdez.
I hope those penguins live long and fruitful.
Awesome.
I love that they’ve made them pretty and stylish — whatever that means to penguins! — rather than using any old uncoordinated scraps of yarn.
What happens when they grow too big for the sweaters?
Now that is a service project I could totally get behind. Who knew?
Sound track for this image: All Creature of our God and King.
Oops, make that CreatureS
Derek, at that point the boy penguins get suits and ties so they can pass the sacrament, and the girl penguins really need to start wearing sweaters with sleeves.
Cuteness overload!
The earnest penguin in green appears really excited about sweater fashion, his/her orange clad friend just looks a bit confused by it all. I don’t knit, but I would learn how if there were to be a worldwide appeal for penguin “purled” protection.
Wow, what a cool idea.
If I was the penguin on the left, i’d go jump back in the oil spill.
