Wool for Ukraine

Marianne from Rangiora

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: 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.
