A Day Late and a Dollar Short

That would be the Daily Breeze.  Page 2, A section contains a plea for "Mittens for Koalas." 

Brush fires in South Australia have injured a number of these particularly photogenic animals.  Four teams of Australian and international organization wildlife rescue charities have joined up to provide for the koalas.

Curious about how the hell you'd make a mitten for a koala bear paw, I turned to my friend, Google.  The blueprint showed   a thumb-less  mitten that looked to be eight inches long, by 6 inches wide.  Easy-peasy to make, but now the rescue organizations are backing off, "Thank you, thank you, but we now have enough mittens!"  or possibly, "Good show, mate, but we've got enough."

If we'd only known about the request sooner ... How cool would your resume look with "Koala Bear Mitten Knitter"?
