KNITTING YARN
I belong to a knitting group, Sew 'n So, that knits for the new babies born at Kids First at Middlemore. The hospital aims to send all new babies home with enough woollies to last them their first year in an effort to reduce the number of hospital admissions from respiratory illnesses.
We churn through the yarn and the ladies take a car load of goodies each time they go over to Kids First. If you have a yarn stash hiding in the wardrobe or under the bed (mine's in both places!) that you no longer need or know realistically that you'll never actually knit(!) it would be great if you could consider donating it to our group. Any yarn can be used by our "Anything" lady but mostly we use 8-ply/DK acrylic or washable wool.
Pm me, text on 0218197845 or ring 4780221 if you can help.
If you are interested in joining our group please contact me for details. We would love to meet you!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
