Swiss Grandmas Knit Sweater for Smart Car

Aging in Switzerland can be really fun. Or so must think three "grandmothers" who feverishly knitted a car cover for three weeks as part of a project bringing young designers together with elderly people and their nearly forgotten crafts.

The three Swiss women, whose ages range from 78 to 90, completed the knitting task as part of a project initiated by the Senior Design Factory, a Zurich-based creative hot spot that aims at bringing the world of young people a bit closer to that of their grandparents.

The brainchild of two young designers, the Senior Design Factory has "employed" around 40 elderly people since its foundation in 2008.
