- Virginia Carmichael, a 100-year-old knitter, has been making baby sweaters and blankets for newborns in need for many years. She goes to Westside Baby in West Seattle to see what happens after she donates them. (Ellen M. Banner/The Seattle Times)
I know this is an older video, but I wanted to say how precious this lady is. Once she was young and took care of her family, no doubt had children, etc. Now, she is giving back. What an example for we younger ones. The Bible tells the older women to teach the younger women. I believe that is what she is doing, as well helping so many precious babies.
this lady knows the value of delayed gratification. That, it seems to me, is the secret to joy in life: mastery through delayed gratification. Which is why knitting and learning to play an instrument is so rewarding.
This lady is an inspiration. Doing so much for others. I loved learning about her. She is wonderful.
Ah bless her. My mother last knitted for me when she was 100 yrs old. She knitted me a ribbed cowl. Nowadays at nearly 103(!) and with advanced Ahzeimers, she can only knit a few rows.
Suzanne Mortimer she has done really well bless her
Oh. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY❤️💖
Bless her that's wonderful
I wish grand health upon your family, as your story is very nice and you share the same first name as my mother. Cheers, and God bless 🙏
You are my inspiration. I am 80 and have been hooked on knitting since 8.
The woman reminds me of my grandma. When she was 15 she wanted to give me a knitted sweater. But at the time I didn't want this because I was afraid of losing recognition in the group. It wasn't fashion back then. I still have memories of how she knitted. Today she is dead. I am 50 years old and am developing an interest in knitting with a knitting machine.
At that time she was probably a little sad that I couldn't appreciate her effort. This is how times and values change.
What a thoughtful and kind lady. After all her years, she still wants to give to others and make herself useful! Thank you Virginia!!!
What an amazing woman. She is an inspirational woman. 😍👍
Amen! Knitting is the greatest thing! I taught myself when I was 18. Thank you for sharing!
She's my inspiration. I want to be like her 🥰💜
cant even deal with HOW adorable this sweetheart is. love you so much. bless you my dear.
This warms my heart ❤️ I pray, if I’m granted long life that I’ll still be knitting.
Hopefully shes still alive making those lovely projects 🥰
Thats what I thought too.
So inspiring! I pray to live that long and do as well as this lovely lady - I need to live that long to work up all the yarn in the yarnscape!
She's incredible. I will keep in knitting if I can live to be a hundred.
Oh I just love this beautiful lady, and her knits are gorgeous 😘❤️🇨🇴
Wonderful lady I ve been knitting for years and hope I still can when I m hundred. Great hobby for relieving stress and helps others as well.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity💜
Beautiful. Warms my heart seeing this wonderful, century old woman knitting sweaters

She is 100years,how nice her Eyes are healthy,and she likes to knit baby garments to keep the babies warm
Everything is lovely. I crochet and find knitting much more difficult than crochet. Keep doing your good work!
Same❤❤
I m the opposite I think crochet is harder cant get used to one hook rather than two needles, but crocheted items are lovely.
RUclips everyone! Trust me! And be patient with yourselves. I knit and crochet but struggled a long long time to get good. Couldn’t figure out knitting for over a decade. RUclips really changed it all for me. That and help from my mother.
You can do it. I have faith in all of you ❤️❤️❤️
@@masuganut2082 , absolutely! I’ve become quite a good sewer, thanks to RUclips.
I love to knit hope i can make it to 100 and continue to knit GOD BLESS. HER
Dearest Virginia, my beloved Grama knitted over 90 yrs, living to 97. She has her flower gardens, gifting to so many and scarves, hats, mittens, all of which many I still have (when I realized the importance of saving for her future generation) and her final piece I saved special along with the last ball of verigated yarn I wrapped into a ball. How blessed are the babies who will be warmly dressed by your loving handiwork, and the gift you are to our world. 🙏🏼🌹🌹🌹🙏🏼 Thank you 😍😘🤗😃💝👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💋
Woooow just hearing her voice made me happy. ❤️
She's really talented and amazing.
It's never too late.
Una bendición y un ejemplo de señora, un placer conocer su labor.❤️🙏🏼
Es un ejemplo a seguir,que valiente,Dios la bendiga.
Wow, you are so inspirational! People who sit and worry about getting Alzheimer's when life is about doing. My father died of Alzheimer's so I am older now than he was when dementia began for him. I also am an avid knitter. Knitting is actually good for the brain's blood circulation as the blood is drawn from the brain stem and flows through the brain to its surface under the skull. This is what controls the hands. So whatever we are doing with our hands from typing to doing dishes to gardening or knitting, just don't stop doing. Life is about doing for others and having the giving spirit, is good for the souls who live to give. God bless you, lovely lady!
Que linda abuelita es un ejemplo a seguir ella teje muy bonito Dios lo Bendiga siempre
