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.

Our quote of the week.

NumberWorks'nWords Hawkes Bay

The easy stuff is fun and quick, it’s true. However, to expand the mind, you must push it to its limits just as you would a muscle. The hard stuff makes you think; it causes you to re-read over and over again until you understand it. Challenge yourself every so often.
