    That's good news! You may have underestimated the power of a photo featuring a penguin in a knitted sweater... How can anyone resist? The internet surely can't :)

    Yep, suspected this would happen…that's why I tried to keep it in Ravelry! Good on you for weathering the deluge of jumpers, but I fear you might keep getting them for months and months… I've noted on the Ravelry pattern (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/penguin-jumper) that there are plenty now.

    Local Fox channel in Seattle just did a little blurb on your project this morning during the news, pointing people to skeinz.com.

    Someone made the following suggestions on The Daily What (http://thedailywh.at) website:

    "They should do a "Penguins in Sweaters" calendar, with the proceeds going to helping the penguins. I'd totally buy one. "

    I would, also, totally buy a calendar.

    Great idea on the calendar as a fund-raiser. Know many would sell here in the US (I'll buy, too!)

    Any way to network with other national wildlife rescue organizations that might have need for the excess penguin jumpers?

    Caught this late (apparently needs are met there?), but I'm going to knit one anyway. Let me know if and when a depository is organized/developed for things like this. I'll send it forward.

    Good job! It would be great to see a photo of whole flock of penguins wearing jumpers in a rainbow of colors:-P

    Aww man! I was going to push aside all my projects and make one of these. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for the penguin calendar to come out ;)
