Re: Greerton's yarn-bombing activities. I agree with Nelda McCann.

I was amazed when I read about the trees in Greerton. What a waste of wool and talent.
Trees aren't meant to be wrapped in wool. I'm one of the folk who knits for Romanian and Russian children – the ‘fish and chips' babies – wrapped in newspaper to keep them warm. I've given quite a bit of wool and I very much appreciate it.

Greerton is a popular suburb of Tauranga and I don't feel knitting up wool to wrap around trees is necessary. Our children need the knitting.
