Creativity isn’t just for the young. Just ask Alfred Date, the oldest living Australian. Date has been knitting for about 80 years now and even at 109-years-old, he’s still putting the knitting needles together to make a sweater for his nephew. While this is a heartwarming story, we can certainly learn from it.

Crafting, whether it is knitting or making soap, isn’t just for young people. If they are willing, crafters can continue their hobby or their crafting business beyond the retirement age. Finding some activity that you strongly love can only increase your lifespan and your enjoyment within it.
