How the fuck are they crocheting with knitting needles?
Sejanus1964
And the elephants seem happy about it.

It also keeps them from getting sunburned

I wouldn't be surprised if it could be done over a long lunch.

Very happy international women's day

I wondered were all my old jumpers had gone.
mrPingPang
Well that answers the age old question, "if an elephant wore pants, would it wear them like...."
RalphtheMagnif
Really those are just leggings though, well leggings and a shawl

Winter is coming...

Well, aren't they the elephant's pajamas!

That is crochet not knit. It's like saying its basket weaving and it's a rug

Fucking people can't tell the difference between different textiles. But I'm expected to know everything about all sports. :P

In the second picture they are all definitely holding knitting needles, but I agree that absolutely looks crocheted.
AngryFennec
They're both tying fancy knots in yarn to make socks, confusing them is a reasonable mistake for those not involved in making them.

I feel like those elephants are ready for a music festival and some LSD.

It looks like @OP found a new tailor for their mom

Nice!
GattoBus
wonder if the elephants understand it
BritishBatman
elephants are smarter than trained dogs, I'm sure they'll figure out when they're suddenly not cold anymore
RatoMolhado
Don't know, but sure will remember.
TwerkingPanda
so did my gf when i bought her something.
RatoMolhado
She may not understand but sure is suspicious.
MoneybagsMcGee
Yes I heard she too was an elephant

Ok, there's no way an elephant is truly effected by temperatures above freezing
Thornaxe
My thoughts too. They wouldn't survive in Canada etc. but they're large enough I can't see chilly nights being an issue.

Horses are covered in fur and still need blanketing
thesmilingpool
Only because people don't allow them to naturally grow out their coats. Staying out in the weather facilitates growing the long hairs.(1/2)
thesmilingpool
Being stabled in a warm barn has lessened the effect, when they aren't out in the elements, there's little need to grow such a heavy coat.

My horse doesn't have a shelter, has long fur, still needs a blanket.
thesmilingpool
What breed? I used to have arabians, I miss it so much!
