There is a viral photo about an athlete – our favourite lgbtq+ swimmer – knitting what looks like a sweater. Tom Daley was the first gold medalist during the Olympics, and he is also kind of famous on the internet. Maybe you already know this, but we didn’t, also we didn’t know about his fabulous knotting creations.
Right now he has 2.1 million followers on Instagram and more than 900,000 subscribers on YoutTube. Most of his content consists of vlogs, fitness videos, and wholesome clips with his hubby. If you didn’t love him already after his picture, we will show you why you should.
What does he create?
He always tries to give his best on everything, from his work to his hobbies and we love it. When he isn’t winning gold in the Olympics he is knitting or crocheting and he shows us this on his Instagram account. An example of his work is what he did in the photo that went viral during the women’s 2m springboard.
If you didn’t guess what he was doing, he knitted a doggy sweater – We love this guy. He shared his final piece on his Instagram, and said: “I am making a dog jumper for @izzythe.frenchie”. If this isn’t enough, you can also watch every single piece he ever made on this account and become a fan.
He started knitting due to the pandemic, as a way to overcome the anxiety of the quarantine. He said about this: “Worrying about when things might go back to normal can be exhausting. My happy place is now on the sofa with knitting needles”. In case you loved what we show you here, go follow hind in @madewithlovebytomdaley and don’t miss anything.
