February Festival
Righto, now that's done and dusted, it's time to get serious about outfits for February. I mostly knit mine due to lack of funds and also, knitting became huge in the 1930s. I've even knitted an evening dress if anyone saw the fashion show at the Soundshell, that was my knitted collection.
Every Saturday from 10-1, I got to Wool N Things at the Onekawa shops for a knitting group. Everyone does their own thing and sometimes other crafts such as crochet and embroidery too.
There are thousands of free vintage knitting and crochet patterns on the internet if you'd like to make your own clothes, hats, bags and gloves. Please come and join us. I'd love to see more people wearing their own made outfits as that's was a big thing during the Depression and it beats wearing the same as everyone else.
We each pay $2 for the use of the facilities and there is a coffee shop next door or bring a thermos. If you purchase on the day of knitting group, Christine offers a 10% discount. It would be fabulous to have some new additions to our group.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
