How many do you know, who at 104 years of age, is classed as a Street Artist,or more correctly a Yarnbomber?
Meet Grace Brett, the centenarian, who just loves decorating and clothing streets and monuments, with her knitted designs and brightening people's days.
She is a proud member of Souter Stormers,all over 60,by the way, who gave the town of Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders,UK, a little warmth and colour, to jazz up their often grey buildings, with their knitted creations.
Grace now lives in a Care Home, but continues to knit her life....so watch out Banksy...you have competition!

Ha, that is a really good point @bookbar
I get a kick outta those "gym gurus", all that hype about exercisen to live longer then they meet the old man whose 95 and still able even though he drinks too much, smokes and eats junk food.
Yeah, I don't waste money on gym's, I chase my pup round and play kick ball then I do a bit of gardenin and of course sit round and punch these keys for hours.

I have read that knitting helps connecting the brain, so I am sure this great lady is still very healthy. Knitting seems to be really a good hobby for our whole life.

My Mum knitted well into her 90s but had to give it up eventually when her eyesight started failing. This is one great lady.
