That's an epic thing to do! You are awesome to take care of the helpless Koalas!

You are doing such a GREAT thing. I'm so very sorry that you need to make the mittens. You have done such a good job. I like the thought you put into your mittens. Hope your fire season ends soon.

Thank you for helping these beautiful animals. They are a well known symbol of Australia. Sorry to hear of the fires and the damage caused.

Our wildlife suffers terribly, amongst them our beloved Koala Bears, a call has gone out to make mittens in cotton fabric to protect their burnt paws, the Koalas are rescued from the bush taken to vets and wildlife carers where our mittens will be distributed. Koalas cannot be returned to the wild if their paws are damaged as they need to climb gum trees to eat the leaves, their burns can take 12 months to heal. So I raided my stash and have made around 50 mittens so far, here is an example, I will post them off tomorrow and continue to make them as they are needed. I tried to make them in bright colors (no red yellow or orange, the colour of fires) silly me for thinking this.

That's a wonderful thing to do. Special blessings for you, Carol.

My niece sent me a link to the site where they are asking for these mittens. I would love to help out the Koalas however the site did not give a complete address for sending them. I have the pattern downloaded and will start as soon as I have a complete address for sending them. Can you help me?
Thanks, Julie |
Oh, jthe
Oh, the poor little Koalas. It's so nice of you to make the mittens. They're really cute. |

Thanks AZ Jane, for the complete address.
I just read another post that says they have way more than they can use now, but I will save the pattern and work on some for later.
