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!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
