Trusted by 1.7M+ on Facebook ↗
Grace was part of a group of knitters who decorated her town with bright and fun designs.
She helped transform everyday things like benches and telephone boxes into cheerful works of art. Her love for knitting made people smile and showed that anyone can be an artist, no matter how old they are. Grace proved that creativity has no limits.
Grace Brett: “I thought it was a really good idea to decorate the town and enjoyed having my crochet included,” Brett told the Press And Journal. “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.”
