For example, no one would expect glamorous Hollywood starlets to have old ladies hobbies. However, it turns out that Amanda Seyfried, Christina Hendricks even the young Dakota Fanning use knitting as a way to pass time. And if that wasn’t enough, Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, also knits.
