I’m a firm believer that you’re never too old to start or learn something new. Want to start a business in your 60’s, go for it! Perhaps learn a new language when you turn 70, give it a try! Learn how to knit when you’re 86 years old, why not? That’s exactly what an 86-year-old man named Ed Moseley did but he also created nearly 60 knitted hats for premature babies!
By learning how to knit, Ed Moseley inspired his friends at the Dogwood Forest Assisted Living Residence in Acworth, Georgia, and together they created 300 warm knitted hats. They donated them to the NICU at Northside Hospital in Atlanta. Their hard work will help these babies stay cozy and warm while they sleep.
86-year-old Ed Moseley proves you’re never too old to learn something new. In July 2016, he learned to knit as a way to stay busy.

As long as Ed Moseley is supplied with yarn, he continues to knit warm hats and takes pride knowing he is helping a worthy cause.
According to ABC News, Ed Moseley says, “I got a lot of enjoyment doing this and now I’ve graduated to large caps. I’m doing caps for all my grandkids.” If you already know how to knit, have you tried this chunky knit blanket pattern?
