Knitting for the NICU
As we've all noticed, it's been getting colder this winter. Winter is the time when the babies in Wellington's NICU need clothing the most, and they are always looking for donations. If you can knit, pick up your needles and knit a piece of clothing for a baby in need! Baby blankets are also needed, you can knit a full blanket (80cm x 80cm) or knit a 10x10cm Peggy square. I've linked some patterns down below, however, feel free to get your own off the internet. Both newborn and premature sizes are needed, and please note that the clothing must be made from 100% wool. This activity can count as a service for DoE or the SVA service award as well. Once you have knitted an item, please drop it off to 22 Grove Road, Kelburn, or post it there. If you have any questions, email me at projecttheraindrop@gmail.com Thank you for your help!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
