I used to love doing knitting on four needles. I used to make loads of pairs of socks and used to like turning the heels. I don't think I could do it today unless I was shown - but I made loads of gloves and scarves. We used to make gloves on four needles. When you did a finger you鈥檇 get so many stitches on each needle and then knit round and round until you've got a finger done and then cast off and then do another one, then do the thumbs. I did that at school - we all used to sit 鈥� I used to hate sewing, I still do now - but I used to do an ever so a lot of knitting until my thumbs got bad, and that's all I did at school, was knit! The school mistress used to say to me 鈥淩ita Flower did you do your sewing last week?鈥�, (because we used to have to knit one week and se the next), "Yes I did!" But I never did of course! I always said I did my sewing last week but I never did. I used to hate it. I remember doing khaki gloves and socks, and black for the Navy, and sort of bluey for the air force we had all those colours, I can remember that as plain as day, sitting at my desk knitting.
