Wool for Baby Knitting
The wool company Skeinz is helping the flood victims in the North Island and understandably cannot help everyone, and have turned our request for patronage down. I am asking for help for the a few of the millions of people displaced by the bombing in Ukraine. We have used up my large stash of balls of pure wool and our Lions club and also our Ryman's knitters are crying out for more. These finished garments are really cute. If you have two or three balls of the same colour of pure wool we would appreciate your donations. Maybe we can mix ' match the colours. A ball band is necesary for translation into Ukrainian. Please we need help.

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!
