Now when you think of the world’s great street artists, the names Banksy, Blek le Rat and Os Gemeos probably come to mind. But what about a 104 year old grandmother? Grace Brett is that lady, and she’s probably the world’s oldest guerrilla knitter, aka ‘yarn-bomber extraordinaire’.

This English lass helped Souter Stormers, a group of knitting partisans, decorate 46 landmarks in the town of Borders. It was done as a part of the Yarrow, Ettrick and Selkirk (YES) festival.

You’re never too young OR old when it comes to the world of art!
