Knitting presentation

Denise from Marewa

On Saturday, 24 October at 3pm (Labour weekend), I am giving a presentation about knitting in New Zealand in the lounge of St Paul's Church on Tennyson Street. This is beside the Municipal Theatre. After the presentation, there will be a sale of vintage knitting patterns from a few decades and a few knitted items. Entry to this event will cost $2. Christine of Wool n Things in Onekawa has two apple boxes of patterns and they will be priced with consideration for the current economic climate so there will be some great buying to be had. The knitted items are made locally and it's a great opportunity to support local craftspeople and get some Christmas presents.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
