You thought I was going to talk about food, right? You were going down the path of pigs in blankets .....
Or you might have been.
A video popped up on my Instagram today and it was a post from a sanctuary, thanking people for sending blankets.
Somehow I really doubt that elephants neeeed blankets but here they are, looking all cosy and colourful and loved.
I thought it was a nice way to finish the year

I thought you were going down the path of 'the elephant in the room'. Love the blankets and how colourful they are. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the elephant in the room :)
DeleteHow pretty! I don't know if elephants need blankets or not. But, I like them in blankets. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAren't they pretty!
DeleteI doubt if they need blankets. From Wikipedia: In Botswana, home to the largest wild elephant populations in the world, the temperatures can drop into the low 40s at night. These temperatures do not seem to bother the elephants.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they're fine but I put a coat on my dog partly because she doesn't have total freedom to find a warm spot. I guess captive elephants are a bit the same.
DeleteAnd humans like to think animals enjoy the same things we do
Imagine the body heat created when they stand in a huddle. I suppose if they didn't like them, they could get them off somehow.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of the body heat!
DeleteThere's a lot of muscle there to create heat
How can you not like photos of elephants in blankets? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty sweet 😋
DeleteAh that is so very sweet/ As a knitter I thought what a massive amount of work. Pun intended. Lovely devotion.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Kylie!

Happy new year to you, Mary!
DeleteAnd yes, devotion is a great word for this.❤️
This is lovely and so special. I love elephants, and I love pretty blankets. And funnily as I write this, I have a half-finished blanket in my lap that I’m knitting with a few dozen bright colors of yarn.
ReplyDeleteLeah! My friend!
DeleteSo , so good to have you here.
I have a love for textiles which borders on hoarding and these blankets are divine. As are the elephants ❤️❤️
Well it makes a change from Christmas pigs in blankets.
ReplyDeleteNew Year Elephants, don't say I never set a trend 😀
