Olympic Knitting

Were you a fan of the Olympics during lockdown? If so, you may have noticed Tom Daley, from the Great Britain diving team, who spent much of his viewing time in the stands knitting up a storm. Whilst his diving skills won him a gold medal, what helped him stay in the headlines was what he called his ‘secret weapon’ – his knitting skills.

If you would like to polish up your own knitting skills, or are motivated to start from scratch with this pastime, many great online resources are available for you to access.
