puppet, fence

Shared by
Auckland War Memorial Museum

One of 43 puppets. During the Covid 19 Lock down 3 and 4 phases the donor commenced making 'fence post people' to count down the days in lock down. Each day she knitted another character and added these to the picket fence outside her home in Bucklands Beach. She states: "They became a wonderful way to connect with others passing by. e.g. I often had children run up to see what the next day's design was; children put in their requests for the next day's character; locals donated wool when I started running out of particular colours and numerous people made a detour on their local walks to see our fence.
