Art Deco and Knitting

Denise from Marewa

Unsurprisingly, the Winter Art Deco festival in July has been cancelled.

Even if you don't have to isolate yourself, there may come a stage when you WANT to. Christine at Wool N Things in Onekawa is offering a delivery service for knitting items and the other items she sells.

If you've never knitted, crocheted or cross-stitched, there are oodles of videos on how to do these crafts on YouTube. Of course, now that it's getting colder, we need to take more care of ourselves and a scarf or beanie is an essential.

Would it be possible for people / or admin to remove posts? as some stay there for weeks, and nborly becomes rather static and boring!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
