Wool for Baby Knitting

Marianne from Rangiora

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.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
