Pets Love Knitting

The life of a Knitty Professor wouldn't be complete without pets. I've recently acquired two new friends. And they both love knitting!

Like any good kitty, Leo (our Siberian Forest Cat) can't resist playing with a ball of yarn:

And Cooper (our minitaure poodle) just likes to snuggle up to some warm and cozy knitting:

Of course, it is hard to get any actual knitting done with two energetic pets... who happen to be hyper just around the time I usually sit down to knit in the evening. But the cuteness is worth it.

Apparently, adorable penguins who have been harmed by an oil spill in Australia are now sporting these cute sweaters to help them avoid ingesting oil.

At one point they were seeking donations, but not surprisingly they were flooded with tons of tiny bird sweaters from tenderhearted knitters:
