I live for things like this… In the town of Mathura in northern India, villagers are knitting giant sweaters to keep rescued elephants warm during winter.The sweaters even cover the animals’ legs, so the whole project is reminding me a bit of Etsomnia™… The beasties all live at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation & Care Center, which takes in rescued elephants saved from rough working conditions where they suffered neglect and daily beatings. They’re happy and healthy now, and with their colorful jumpers, they’re really brightening up the joint!

The knitting villagers told the Daily Mail that each sweater takes them about 4 weeks to produce, but they say it’s a labor of love. I adore this story!
