Thousands of knitters around New Zealand and the world are working to keep South Auckland babies warm.
The number of premature babies at Middlemore hospital has reached peak levels this year and when the Middlemore Foundation made a plea on Facebook recently for more knitting because they were running low, the response they received was overwhelming.
The post has been shared more than 6000 times.
The foundation's wool group is just one of its initiatives to provide warmth for some of the country's most vulnerable children.
Among them, is 100 year old South Auckland resident Marjorie Corlett.
