Woman escapes dementia and decides to spend her time knitting

I’ve decided to write a screenplay.

Hear me out.

It’s going to be inspired by this article (featured here); this section to be precise:

“[Baroness Susan Greenfield] also suggested that eventually finding a cure for dementia could see more people live to 100.
"No one has actually written the question: 'What do we do with that time?','' she said.
"Do we just play computer games? That is a really important issue to address.''”
I think I’ll call it: “Knitting Hill” (unless you have a better idea?).

It’ll be a story about a woman who beats dementia and finds herself facing her future. Will she spend her time riding Sydney’s trains with a ridiculously large bag on wheels, making Christmas jumpers or will technology suck her into its world?...

Spoiler warning: She decides to spend her extra time knitting things. Like tea cosies.
