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.
