This is Grace Brett, a 104-year-old great-grandmother that might be the oldest street artist in the world. She is a member of a knitting club known as the “Souter Stormers,” who recently yarn-bombed the towns of Selkirk, Ettrickbridge, and Yarrow in Scotland. This club spent nearly a year secretly planning the street art project. The mischievous knitters covered fences, benches, and lamp poles all across the towns in elaborate knitted art. There were colorful knitted houses, animals, and flowers. (H/t: Boredpanda)
“I thought it was a really good idea to decorate the town and enjoyed having my crochet included,” Grace Brett said.
“I liked seeing my work showing with everyone else and thought the town looked lovely.”
Brett’s daughter Daphne, 74, explained: “She has always knitted and crocheted all through her life.”
"She has always done all the knitting for the babies and made shawls,” Daphne added.
That is how a regular day of Grace Brett looks like.
Grace has confirmed that age is no barrier to participating in a contemporary project.
