Cute but deadly?

[patchoulli]

I thought this was a really good (and cute!) idea but then imagined the birds pecking at the yarns and yarn strung out all over the place, and the birds getting tangled in it in the water and on land. The penguins could even eat the yarn and how good could that be for them?
I wonder if one used paper ribbons to knit with, if the sweaters would disintegrate eventually?
Maybe something other than little sweaters would be a better solution.

I suppose now you'd like to see what the heck I'm talking about in my post. Sorry, I forgot to include the link. Definitely a senior moment.

I would want to know if the penguins wanted a sweater in the first place

Of course they do. It's frigging cold where they live.

Orcas would probably cough the little buggers up if they're wearing sweaters.
What's next, nappies for the little ones?
