Knit for Australia's Koalas

Knit for Australia's Koalas
Knitters of the World - Australia needs your help.
Over 1 million hectares of land have been burning in 300 fires across NSW and Queensland. Much of this is critical Koala Habitat - a species that is now considered “functionally extinct”. Populations have been decimated and those who have survived are badly injured.
There has also been a call out for knitted, crocheted or sewn Koala mittens and Joey pouches for our beloved kangaroos, possums and wombats, to help in the treatment of burns.
Please email for the patterns at hello@littledandelion.com to receive a PDF for patterns. I am happy to be the point of collection.
Please show our global leaders what can be achieved when we act as a collective consciousness and show compassion and love for those in need. Many thanks and much love ~ Jac
PO Box 126, Balgowlah, New South Wales, Australia 2093
