Works in bed turning ends of socks (4)
I believe the answer is:
hoes
'works in bed' is the definition.
(as in working in a flower bed)
'turning ends of socks' is the wordplay.
'turning' becomes 'hoe' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ends of' indicates one should take the final letters (I've seen 'end of' mean this).
The last letter of 'socks' is 's'.
'hoe'+'s'='HOES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoes that I've seen before include "Garden tools" , "Gardening tools" .)
