As winter approaches, an old woman decides to knit sweaters for her many grandchildren. However, due to noise in her home, she is unable to concentrate, so she decides to sit outside by the stars to knit in peace. However, on her way there, she encounters bears, goats, and even aliens who she all tells to leave her alone. Eventually, she is finally able to get her peace and knit the sweaters.
