Wool for Ukraine
People have been very generous but I still need more wool. I still have a number of packs to fill. In the meantime I thought I'd share with you the progress the Lions and friends knitters have made. One huge tub of packs has already gone out to the amazing knitters. We have had a wonderful donation from Countrywide wools in Auckland for this project and is a big part of the latest box of knitting packs. On the second photo you can see a finished baby jacket that has come back like a homing pigeon. When I get all the scraps of wool back hats to match will be knitted, as the packs contain 2 patterns, a jacket and hat, but some packs do not have quite enough wool for the hat. It's a big learning curve for me. This is a big thanks for our community for their help and donations of pure wool. Thank you all.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
