| Caption | Not one to waste time, Miss Geraldine Gilbert, sophomore in the college of pharmacy at the University of Washington, knits two socks at one time. Knitting with the standard four needles she knits one sock inside the other. The outside sock is knit 'inside out, ' the American way, while the inside sock is knit 'right side out, ' the Continental way. She was able to make one sock per day while knitting on street cars and during class lectures, or at least during classes with lenient 'profs.' Miss Gilbert donated her knitting to the downtown Seattle headquarters of the American Red Cross. |
