Knit your Art Deco outfit

Denise from Marewa

The more I got into it, the more I needed the clothes but could not afford to buy any. Lucky for me, knitting really took off in the 1930s and there are thousands of free 1930s patterns online. Some of my favourite sites are:

freevintageknitting.com they don't have the dates on but if you google the name of the pattern book, you might find the date. Anything from a book called 'Minerva Styles The Future' is 1936

subversivefemme.com... an Australian site

vintageknittingpatternarchive.com...

thevintagepatternfiles.blogspot.com...

vintagepurls.co.nz... a New Zealand site

There are many more. If the temperatures we have lately are anything to go by, we just might be needing cardigans or boleros this year. We are lucky in that we have quite a few wool shops in the Bay and if you don't have any fine needles in your stash, the Op Shops have loads.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
