This man taught himself to knit for the most adorable reason
It's never too late to learn something new.
Ed Moseley, a pensioner in Georgia, USA, has taught himself to knit at the age of 86.
Dogwood Forest Assisted Living care home announced that they would be knitting tiny hats for premature babies to keep them warm, and Ed wanted to be part of it. However, there was one problem for the care home resident: he didn't know how to knit. So, Ed asked his daughter.
Ed told the local website Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Bless her heart, she went... and got a starter loom kit, yarn and instruction kit for me. So I started slowly and learned it just takes patience."
In time, Ed began to excel at his new hobby, taking just an hour to knit a little hat, even teaching his fellow residents and staff how to knit them.
His inspiration has even stretched as far as his granddaughter's school, where the kids have been learning to knit.
In total, the care home donated over 300 hats of which Ed personally knitted 55!
It just goes to show that you're never too old to take up a new hobby.
Good on you Ed!
