Knitting for Charity

Bob Scott Retirement Village

Every Monday afternoon a group of knitters gathers in the lounge of Auckland’s Evelyn Page Village for a knit and a natter.

As well as producing a mountain of beautiful knitted items to donate for charity, the ladies provide each other with friendship, support and most of all a good giggle.

There is even a sub-group who meet on a Saturday who call themselves the Knackered Knitters where the ante is upped, the music is broken out and the natter can get naughty!

“Yesterday we were dancing queens,” says Sue, who moved into the village 18 months ago.

“Sylvia knitted right through it,” she laughs.

“My feet were dancing!” adds Sylvia.

traffic chaos

Karl from Alicetown

I note no comments about utter traffic chaos alicetown melling area due to not being able to turn from victoria st on to ewan bridge. You would think council would require 24 by 7 work on such a vital road into lower hutt. what about all the extra pollution due to cars crawling along at 10kmph. I guess council doesnt believe in climate change
