Knitting presentation
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.
