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.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
