Knitting yarn and needles ?
Every time we hear or see Jordan he asks for knitting yarns or knitting needles, I know he knits but I was puzzled how he could be getting through so much, well last nights call enlightened us, he has been teaching all the men in his barrack to knit. It began with just him knitting and the others sniggering, bit of banter and week or too later one chap got curious and had a go and now they are all doing it
Most too embarrassed to ask their home friends and families to provide the wool and needles I guess.

Re: Knitting yarn and needles ?
My father knitted himself some long woollen socks when he was serving in the R.E.M.E. during the 2nd world war. Over the years my mother had darned the heels and soles of the these socks but they were still wearable. When dad was in hospital when he was 50 he unpicked the soles from the main leg of the socks and knitted new feet into them. Unfortunately he never got to wear them again as he passed away with lung cancer shortly afterwards.
