..I just read that as 'knitted out' their computer suites, Ruby..I was thinking how inventive and clever that was....(it's because I was having a knitting (ish) conversation with someone at the time..)...mind you, we've sat with our coats on at school/no heating many, many times and we're not an academy school....
