Wanted: People to knit jumpers for penguins... Phillip Island’s Penguin Foundation uses the jumpers to help rehabilitate birds that have been affected by oil spills or similar leaks from fishing boats. Knits for Nature, a program run by the foundation, has created up to 300 different designs over the years thanks to its team of dedicated volunteers but is always in need of more. ‘There’s a lot of hidden creativity out there,’ explained Lyn Blom, an employee of the foundation. The jumpers help to keep the penguins warm and also prevent them trying to clean the toxic oil away with their beaks.
