SHE may be 92, but her knitting needles are still clicking to help produce blankets for charity.

Doris Styles makes more than 100 knitted squares per month for Malvern Inner Wheel Club, working so fast that more wool donations are needed.

The club sends blankets made from the knitted squares to Feed the Children, a charity which helps needy children and their families both in Britain and abroad.

Mrs Styles, of Malvern Link, has been knitting since she was five years old and can even knit while reading.

"If I'm alive when I'm 100, I expect I'll still be knitting," she said.

When she was younger she knitted for her three children, two foster children and grandchildren and said she was furious when school uniforms were introduced because they could no longer wear her jumpers.

Arthritis has never been a problem for Mrs Styles, who thinks her knitting has helped keep her fingers nimble.

After she, and five other volunteers, have finished knitting the squares they are sewn together by club members to form blankets.

Penny Watkins, who is also as member of the Inner Wheel, crochets the edges before they are sent to Feed the Children.

The charity has sent more than 2000 blankets to the earthquake zone in Pakistan and is currently supporting projects in Africa.

At a centre for abandoned children in Kenya, every baby is sent home with its own blanket, while in war-torn Angola homeless people sleep under the blankets in an empty school at night.

Joan Gibson, Inner Wheel's overseas officer, collects wool donations for the project. She said it was difficult to keep up with Mrs Styles's 100 square a month turnout.
