Granny locked in public restroom spends four days knitting scarf

A British grandmother locked in a public restroom for four days said she kept warm using a hand dryer and passed the time by knitting a scarf. Gladys Phillips, 82, said she was out shopping in Felixstowe, England, when she made a pit stop in a public restroom that she didn't realize was not yet open to the public.

    depends on the gauge of her needles on hand. unless she was knitting tiny socks or a lace shawl they're not thin enough to get into a lock (certainly not a Yale lock like is the most common in the UK) and she's certainly not going to bend any of her needles to get the tapping action you need.

        that's what i thought too, given you can knit a scarf from a single ball in a few hours. and i'm not even a good knitter (crochet ftw)
        
        What i want to know is what kind of knitter can go into a yarn shop and only buy one skein!? that's some epic discipline right there; there's nothing worse than going away with two balls of yarn and running out then having to return to the shop trying to search for the right dye lot :'(
